"A Face like 50 miles of bad road"

Posted by WordCrafter on December 28, 2003

An unkind description of an individuals' looks is that he (she) has a face like 50 miles of bad road. I've only heard it in the US, and I suppose it weould have to refer to kilometers to be applicable in most other parts of the world.
Is this a US expression exclusively?
