Profanity of the Month: [in your] Face!
This month, our Profanity of the Month has a twist: It's a whole family of profanities, rather than a single word or phrase. For the lovely month of May, we do tribute to the [fill-in-the-blank]-face profanities.
For years, I really only ever used "fuckface" myself, but since my sister has moved in with me, she's introduced me to a whole new world of [blank]-face joy and wonder. Here's a quick sample list of [blank]-face profanity for you to enjoy:
- Whore-face
- Bitch-face
- Cunt-face
- Skank-face
- Cock-face
- Slut-face
- Douche-face (for the younger crowd)
- and of course, who could forget the classic: Fuck-face
The key, as you've no doubt figured out by now, is to take a single-word, standalone insult, and simply append the word "face". The meanings are as nuanced and varied as the available prefixes!
I think the [blank]-face usage lends a personal and attention-getting touch to what have largely become "overused to the point of meaningless" insults. Anyone can throw the word "bitch" around, but pop out with "bitch-face" and you're going to catch someone's attention for sure.
I know the first time lil' sis called me "whore-face," I sat up, looked at her in delighted disbelief, and said, "What did you just call me?!" (Nowadays, having grown used to it, I simply retort with, "rejected afterbirth of a gutter-fucked whore." As with all things, the [blank]-face profanities work best in moderation.)
As always, use them in good health and good cheer!
Thanks for the credit, skank-wad

12th May 2008 at 4:38 pm | permalink |With me and my older sister I find that the same principle usually applies to cum-[blank].
As in:
cum-wad, cum-bucket, cum-dumpster, cum-dog, or most any other random noun.
PS: Just in time for new profanity…I think I've over exhausted cockwaffle.

fart-face
I'm a HUGE fan of two-word profanities. Why limit yourself to just one? When you want to make a statement, go for the double-banger i.e.
cunt-mole

anus-face
I do this all the time.
I tell my bf he's a whore face. lol
13th May 2008 at 8:32 am | permalink |@Jen: Oh yes, the cum-[blank] format works really well too. I'd heard "cum dumpster" somewhere before, but the others are new.
@Ian: Arseface is actually a character in a comic book series over here called "Preacher". hehe
@Lulu: Freeform two-part insults work great too … but the PotM entry would have been a mile long if I'd gone that direction.
@AntBee: See? It's easy once you get started! haha
@Hellationships: Can I get an A-MEN?
13th May 2008 at 1:11 pm | permalink |How on earth could you forget "Shit Face"? Do you not drink? Do you not know someone who does and thus becoming Shit Face (or past tense "shit faced")? Gee whiz alphabitch!
13th May 2008 at 1:19 pm | permalink |@Dr. Atomix: Sorry, I always thought of "shit faced" as more of a statement of fact than a personal insult.

@Johnny: I think "SMEG-FACE" has a better ring to it … just MHO.
14th May 2008 at 11:32 am | permalink |what about turd-bum, crust-bum and plop-face? they're mature AND witty…maybe.
15th May 2008 at 5:48 am | permalink |@Hillari-face: Hmm. I think I'd leave out "mature".
15th May 2008 at 11:16 am | permalink |I called my sister a cunt last year and she disowned me. WTF. At least it wasn't cunt-face.
17th May 2008 at 6:03 pm | permalink |I love these. They give a bit of a silly side to it, so people don't take you as seriously. It's good to use around friends. Way to go alphabitch…..face.
18th May 2008 at 6:15 pm | permalink |@Badsanta: Yeah … a lot of women take "cunt" far, far too seriously. Then again, maybe you didn't exactly use it in a joking, affectionate manner?
@Aimee: I'd hate to be taken completely seriously.
18th May 2008 at 6:25 pm | permalink |I'm partial to douche-nozzle myself
25th May 2008 at 11:12 pm | permalink |@RInnyB: Ooh. Douche-nozzle is SO much better than just plain ol' "douche".

11th March 2009 at 5:15 pm | permalink |Sorry to be a pedagogue (-face), but "shitfaced" is not "past tense," because it's not a verb. It's an adjective.
A-bitch-my compliments on your site. Just browsed my way here today, and I am in awe of you.
