Kid, you gotta face for radio
My hobby is words and their meaning. More specifically it is the search for what causes brought them into being. Was it frequency or urgency? Perhaps it was the uniqueness of the situation which defied current linguistic tools?
To that end I present:
Backpfeifengesicht (german, adjective) "face that cries out for a fist in it"
This goes beyond sexy ugly, you know. I wonder what a face that cries out for a fist in it would look like?
And how often did someone like this appear or occur so that language to describe it had to be thought up?
I cannot think of anyone who really had a face CRYING for a fist in it.
Maybe they were just faces meant for radio.
