'Being ugly' is, in some places (like Texas), a term used to describe the actions of someone who is acting rudely/unpleasantly to others.

While 'being ugly' is a common phrasing, there are other variants, like 'acting ugly', 'are/were ugly', and so on.
"Grant, stop being ugly to your little sister and behave!"

"I can be a really ugly guy when I go without smoke break, man."

"Sorry about my mom acting so ugly to you during dad's funeral."
"S'alright. I acted pretty ugly to him while he was alive, so I understand why she'd do the same to me while she was grieving."

Get the Being ugly mug.
The "act of being ugly" is totally different than just being ugly. Just being ugly is like you walk down the street and see someone had a wart on their nose or a bald spot or something creepy like that. Commiting "the act of being ugly" is to choose on your very own to be ugly. That is an awful act. Such an awful act like that deserves severe punishment.
"Omg, Elaine is dressed like a freekin goth again. Steel toed boots? Fish nets? Chains? What an act of being ugly! The ugly police would drag her out into the road and shoot her."

"Ugly people suck. I hate them. Each and every one."
