How it's used
This term is a blunt and slightly derogatory way to describe someone with acne scars or a rough complexion. It functions as a noun phrase to label a person based on their physical appearance. Using it in front of the person described is considered rude and confrontational.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone with temporary acne or a few pimples, as it specifically implies deep, permanent scarring. It is strictly a physical descriptor and should not be used as a general insult for someone's personality.
