Edit: From Rodney Rude - "she was so ugly they used her face to make the mould for gorilla cookies"

He looks like he's been drawn through a knothole backwards.
You're so ugly that when you were born the doctor slapped your mother.

Now if you want to focus on specific features...

Hi Stales,

How about "Face that would scare a dog out of a butcher shop" or "Ugly as a hat full of holes" ? I can't take credit for these though, found them on http://www.clichesite.com/index.asp - a cliche for every occasion . The site gives an origin (these are both Oz) but not really a good definition of how they came to be.

Apparently fugly has made it into AHD, but not Webster's. Comments on status and on first known usage, tsuwm?

Plug-ugly, meaning a thug, or one hired to intimidate, according to my MW Collegiate.

Her face looks like it caught fire and somebody stamped it out with a track shoe.

He's got a face like a Bulldog chewing a wasp( hornet)
