COYOTE UGLY

adj 1. extremely ugly. Origin: When caught in a trap, a coyote will sometimes chew it's leg off to escape. A female that is "coyote ugly" is so ugly, that a male (upon waking up and realizing how ugly she is) would rather chew his arm off than risk waking her by pulling his arm out from underneath her.
