face like a slapped arse

[Paul]

I don't know if political statements are allowed here, but I want tonight to thank my British friends for a perfect phrase to describe what Mitt Romney looked like at the end of the Presidential debate tonight: he had a face liked a slapped arse. (I first heard that in an episode of Trial and Tribulation I saw a few months ago.)

[Andrew]

It's good, but not as good as...

A face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle.

I love that one, never fails to make me smile. Hey ho :)

[Katie]

...but why would a bulldog do that? :o

[Andrew]

Funny things, bulldogs ;)

[Paul]

Ha - thanks for that one, Andrew :)

Katie - you never know with those bulldogs. They have evocative faces even when they're not doing that.

[Lynne (Tigger's Mum)]

Dare I say it - my mother in law comes to mind. There it's said. We say thistle though not nettle and in Wales they say has a face like a slapped dap.

[Michael]

Face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.
Face like a bag of smashed crabs.

[Jud]

Face like a slapped arse or Face like a spade

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Face like a sandblasted tomato

[Philip (sarah)]

Face like a cow's arse turned inside out! Oops sorry,just my response when I looked in the mirror this morning!

[Patti (baconater)]

Face like a wet weekend. :(

[Kath]

We used to say a face like a bag of spanners.
(I don't say it now though. I've got a mirror!)

[Lorraine]

Poor old bulldogs,we always say face like a bulldog chewing a toffee.

[Paul]

Lynne - LOL! But what's a dap? (It could be even better than arse in this construction, 'cause it rhymes.)

Everyone: I just got up - it's 6:40am here in NY - looked in the mirror, and saw a face that looked liked all of those.

[Tim]

Arse like the top of a ketchup bottle...

(that's me after a dodgy curry! You really don't want to slap it, and you really really don't want to look like it!)

You mean you don't put your loo-roll in the freezer when you make a curry? Just a little tip!

Hi Paul, its a welsh expression for the old fashioned plimsoll (don't think trainers) the old black thin ones are daps.

[Kay (Golden Girl)]

Wish you would all stop talking about my face !!

[Philip (sarah)]

[Paul]

Lynne: thanks!

Kay: no, Romney's face at the end of the debate made everyone's here look like Aphrodite or Adonis.

[Vic]

Face like a melted wellington?

The barmaid in the Pheasant just had a spot of bother with a customer and she unleashed one of those killer looks. Where do women learn to do that?

It scared the crap out of me and I was nothing to do with it.
