Khiam Pa Face
It centred on the two new girls who had just joined The Office (I am thinking of registering this as a trademark but I guess the BBC probably beat me to this already). Their names are respectively Queen and Yann.
Queen is a very nice girl, who also happened to be married at the ripe old age of 24 (They get started earlier and earlier, don't they?). She was also the one who suffered from the unfortunate hype of everyone (that includes Jubilee, Iceman, Rogue, etc) who had seen her labelling her as "very pretty". Which was why the moment that I actually eyes on Queen, I was greatly disappointed. Queen looks about the average pretty girl on the street whom you would notice at first glance but would be unlikely to turn your head to have a second. But she's a very nice girl. Unpretentious, down-to-earth and immensely likeable. And because of that, I really do hope that she'd come to my branch but at the moment, she's still under some sort of probation that made little sense to me.
Now Yann is the interesting one. When she first came in, she kind of cheesed off some people with her "high-brow" attitude. But as it turned out, according to Psylocke, her spoken English seems to be quite poor. Surprising considering that she's a psychology student. She also had this haughty look which really turned people off. Shadowcat labelled it as a "piss-me-off" face.
I really do have another label for it which I think is more commonly used, it's called a khiam pa face. Not everyone has it, but you wouldn't want one either. A khiam pa face is basically one where the moment you see him/her, you just want to raise your fist and bash his/her face into a shapeless pulp. So what does a khiam pa face look like? This is one classic example.
Brothers and sisters, put down your fists now, he's intellectually disabled after all.
We really have different terms for this kind of face. In the army, we'd be calling that person a CB face. Alternatively some of us also call these people fcuk face. Sometimes we just call that person a cu*t. Either way, you get the idea. Most of the time, somehow, these faces seem to remind to remind people of intercourse or specifc organs. I really do not quite understand why. Look at this face and you want to have sex? Please, if you really feel attracted to this mug, you either need glasses or IMH admission.
Truth of the matter is though, this is the first time I've heard this label being used on a girl. I never really thought a girl could have a khiam pa face. I thought with girls, it's always you either found them kissable or not (To each his own). Simple, nothing more. Khiam pa? That's new!
In fact, it was so new, I couldn't find any example or think of a girl with a khiam pa face...until I came across this.
So yes, I concede, technically girls can have a khiam pa face.
PS: Yann doesn't really have a khiam pa face lah. She just needs to smile a bit more. Honestly, she looks relatively sweet and has a nice toothy smile....if she bothers with smiling.
