1. Is there a word called "sgout" that has something to do with facial expressions?

2.I'm not trying to *dog* someone. But this is what I think...
Something that probably means *protect* *defend*?

Thanks

From http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dog&page=2
12. dog
1. verb - bother, irritate, annoy, ride, harass

Never heard of "sgout."

1. No word "sgout," nor is there likely to be one beginning "sg" in English. A snout is a nose; otherwise, I can't think of anything that might fit your question.

2. Your guess is logical, because dogs are very protective, but not quite correct. To dog someone means to follow him / her closely (like a dog does) or to criticize him / her (barking?).

Scowl, maybe, or squint?
