    Default insulting proverbs

    In a recent thread I kinda discovered that the dialect I speak (region around Courtrai/Kortrijk) has quite a lot of somewhat graphic proverbs concerning people that are ugly. I'm wondering if other dialects or languages also have such proverbs. Please note that I didn't make these up and are beeing used by a reasonable amount of people. Also note that some are hard to translate correctly with still the right meaning.

    "He/she has a face to pave streetstones with"

    "He/she has a face to walk behind a garbagetruck"

    "He/she has a face to sort **** on" (I told you they were graphic)

    "He/she has a face to roderen clubs on"
    roderen is a dutch word but I can't find fitting translation.
    'roderen' is averb that means using a tool until it performs optimally. for instance you have to use your soccer shoes for some time before they fit your feet perfectly.

    Does your language or dialect have such proverbs? Please share them.
