Suppose you're a heterosexual man and you see a gorgeous woman walking down the street. Your eyes pan up the long luscious legs, that round bottom swaying oh so nicely, that slim waist, full, round breasts...BUTTERFACE! ("But her face", get it?) Although this is mostly intended for female characters, the trope is hardly applicable to women only and some male characters also qualify as Spear Counterparts of this (ie Heroic Build without the handsome face). Also known by the acronym BOBFOC ("Body Of Baywatch, Face Of Crimewatch"). Examples of Butter Face include:

  • Suppose you're a heterosexual man and you see a gorgeous woman walking down the street. Your eyes pan up the long luscious legs, that round bottom swaying oh so nicely, that slim waist, full, round breasts...BUTTERFACE! ("But her face", get it?) This is when a girl is otherwise a total package, but Mother Nature didn't complete the package and she has a face with the shapelessness and sliminess of butter. The kind of face that makes you want to put a bag over it. Often Played for Laughs in cartoons and comedy films. In gags, the woman will often be wearing a veil, setting up for The Reveal. This woman often ends up being a Abhorrent Admirer. Somewhat the opposite of the Gorgeous Gorgon. Although this is mostly intended for female characters, the trope is hardly applicable to women only and some male characters also qualify as Spear Counterparts of this (ie Heroic Build without the handsome face). Also known by the acronym BOBFOC ("Body Of Baywatch, Face Of Crimewatch"). The Japanese have their own word for it, "bakku-shan" (a combination of "back" and "schön", German for "beautiful"). Hence, "beautiful only from the back". In the Philippines, this is called "hipon," which means "shrimp," because when eating shrimps, you only go for the body and not the head (A similar analogy is used in Australia, with "Prawn"). Meanwhile in Poland, in an inversion of Lie Back and Think of England, this kind of woman is described as "flag on her face, and for the Motherland!". In Brazil, the common nickname is "Raimunda", for "feia de cara mas boa de bunda" (ugly face, but a pretty ass). Needless to say, this is considered a hugely impolite thing to say to another person.
