I looked up in the dictionary. Doesn't seem to get it. GIF or pic please?

It means you scorn something. eg Tom wrote a little poem for Mary, and gave it to her on her birthday. She turned her nose up at it because she wanted a fancier and more expensive gift, When we scorn something,we do to some extent sometimes put our head back and look at it with our nose raised a bit .
