Generally considered a mild insult, as compared to stronger varieties such as shitface, shithead and so on. Usually considered somewhat childish, and for that reason generally confined to more informal situations (or use by children). Some children find it amusing to repeat this
word indefinitely. Pooface is sometimes used in conjuction with adverbs which strengthen its meaning, e.g., "complete pooface", or "total pooface".
Many other insults are related to, and possibly derived from, this one, for instance, shitface, shithead, craphead, dunghead, shitbrain, etc. All of these words share the common structure "
word for faeces" + "
word for part of
head". There is also a more general category of words which have the structure "some kind of vaguely insulting substance" + "body part", e.g. "
cheese-dick", "
strawberry-dick" (note that hyphenation varies with these types of
word, although you will rarely see "
poo-face").
A
word which is related to pooface is rondabe, which is often discovered by accident when someone is writing a predictive text and tries to type "pooface". For some reason, many predictive text systems prefer the
word "rondabe" over "pooface". No-one knows why this is, however. Incidentally, rondabe is the absolute certified coolest word in the world, by a margin of 58%. The nearest contender to its crown of coolness is globule, which has only 538 coolness points, and was used by Queen Elizabeth II in the
Queen's Speech of 2002 in order to highlight her coolness.
