Pardon me, but I think that "pulls up a brow" sounds funny.

I think that the natural English expression would be,
"Raising an eyebrow can mean ..."
or "If you raise an eyebrow, it can mean ..."

We cannot determine yet whether this sentence was initially derived from translation or not.

If one pulls up a brow, that can mean "I want to have sex with you", but also "I find that what you just said is completely idiotic."
