How it's used
This term is a highly offensive vulgarity that combines a derogatory anatomical reference with the word for face or appearance. It is used to label someone as detestable, arrogant, or physically repulsive. Because it carries significant weight, it is strictly reserved for intense anger or extreme contempt among close peers.
