this is one answer - rolling is the noun - you can say "eye rolling" or "rolling of the eyes" - where do you see two different answers?

Peer comment(s):

neutral SJLD : I wouldn't rely on this dictionary for translation - would you really say "eyes rolling" rather than "eye rolling"?/I guess the difference is whether one is medically qualified or not - professional vs lay idiom/yes

I really honestly don't think that it matters. In the great scheme of things, there is no difference apart from pluralising eye which I have done /// Are you a doctor then?
