English term or phrase: I flashed her a grin
Minha dúvida é como traduzir "grin": sorriso largo, sorriso irônico ou simplesmente sorriso? Ou alguma outra sugestão? (Parece que as definições variam um pouco de um dicionário para outro.)

Contexto: Ronan diz que Mahanttan é o playground perfeito para encontrar uma esposa (falsa) para ele porque está repleto de mulheres lindas. A irmã Cara suspira e diz, "Eu te amo, Ronan, mas você é um porco [chauvinista, machista]" Em seguida:

I flashed her a grin.
"Maybe I am -- but at least I know who I am."
