My best guess would be... 卖萌.    Which basically means somebody trying too hard to act cute, and the act gets pointed out by another person.  Since its a bit more of a broad meaning, the word isn't quite specific enough to describe the horrid duck lips, but it works, and most Chinese people would probably use 卖萌 to describe the duck lips. Otherwise I'm beat ^.^ Wanna learn specifically how to say duck lips now.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
