coal face

Originally used with reference to miners i.e those who remove coal from the 'face' of the mine, its now more commonly used to mean any work closest to the frontline

Managers have no idea how hard it is for a sparky these days because they never have to work at the coal face.
I love pulling apart engines. Its great to get my hands dirty at the coal face.

laptop face

After a hardcore sesh of trolling the internet, looking in the mirror and having a red face. Result of the concentrated heat from a laptop screen. Symptoms will eventually wane after sufferer is unclenched from their computer.

Person 1: "dude did you just get back from holiday?"
Person 2: "nah just some serious laptop face"

Facebawarkward

Once you accept a friend on facebook, then then next time you see them, either of you do not mention it.

Hey, Jessica just accepted me as a friend on facebook, but when I saw her, she acted like she didn't know me...it was very facebawarkward...

butter face

n. A girl who is hot, except for her (but her, butter) face.

If J.Lo had her face torn apart by wild dogs, people would call her a butter face.

Faucet-face

When a person, a female in particular, cries easily because she's sensitive and very sentimental.

Nancy had a faucet-face this morning because her boyfriend surprised her with flowers.

The female equivalent of blue balls
