Now I can understand where that expression comes from. And a face like a slapped @rse - that's pretty obvious what it would look like (red cheeks). A face that only a mother could love - ahh (ugly). A face like an unmade bed (wrinkled & creased). But - a face like the back of a bus??? Don't get that one. How can a face look like any part of the bus - if anything, it would be the front of the bus wouldn't it?
