From Tboggs comments: comes this handy German word:
backpfeifengesicht (German):
“A face that cries out for a fist in it.”
George Bush’s is a given, as is most of his adminisitration, especially Gonzalez- if ever someone had a face that cries out for a fist in it, it’s Gonzalez – and also any given wingnut pundit.
Michelle Malkin. Enough said.
But life is about more than politics so on a strictly cultural level (using ‘cultural’ in its loosest sense) it has to be that smug little madam Lily Allen. Or maybe Bono, or bloody Paris Hilton or any one of the current crop of pubescen Hollywood hellspawn… I could go on and on.
Whose face do you consider to be backpfeifengesicht? What other words-for-concepts could be usefully incorporated into English?
Discuss…
