Definition

A vulgar and highly insulting slang term used to refer to a person considered foolish, irritating, or contemptible. It is intentionally offensive and should be used with caution, usually only in comedic or deliberately exaggerated contexts.
[ insulte vulgaire / terme grossier ]

Because of its intensity, the word is typically found in informal speech, comedy, satire, or heated arguments—not in polite conversation.

(All milder than “f*ckface.”)

Etymology

A modern compound insult formed from two vulgar elements. Used primarily in North American English. Its impact comes from the shock value of abrupt, aggressive wording rather than from any specific literal meaning.

When & How to Use

Use only in contexts where strong profanity is expected, such as humor among close friends, fictional dialogue, or comedic exaggeration. Avoid using it in any professional, polite, or serious situation, as it is intentionally offensive.

Joke (mild):
Why don’t dictionaries include “f*ckface” as a recommended synonym?
Answer: Because they don’t want to insult the other words.
