The idiom "make a face at somebody or something" comes from the natural act of twisting or changing one's facial expressions to show dislike, displeasure, or amusement. It originated from the observation that people often use their faces to communicate their feelings or reactions. This idiom is commonly used in informal settings to describe the act of distorting one's face to convey a negative or humorous reaction towards someone or something. It can be used to express disapproval, annoyance, or mockery towards a person, object, or situation.
