butterface
A woman seen as attractive everywhere 'but her face' — a sexist backhand.
Definitions
A mean little pun: 'butterface' = 'but her face.' The idea being everything about her looks good but her face. It's crude, it's sexist, and it knows it. Started in Black college and queer slang in the 90s as 'butta face' before bros dragged it mainstream in the 2000s. Urban Dictionary made it Word of the Day in 2009 and people rightly clocked how nasty it is.
