It’s supposed to be bitchy resting face FFS. Resting bitch face makes no bloody sense.

My resting face is mardy. My mum had a resting face which was smiley.

Please stop saying resting bitch face, you’ve got it the wrong way round.

Yes!! I'm glad it's not just me!

(I have one, BTW. lol)

A resting bitch face accurately means a bitchy face that's resting, rather than a resting face that looks bitchy

I agree. It makes more sense.

Somerford · 25/05/2018 19:13

Resting bitch face sounds punchy and funny, your version doesn't and it won't catch on so maybe let this one go. It doesn't matter.

I say resting bitch face. DH calls it my "fuck off face" because my general expression tells people to fuck off. It does explain why I'm never approached in the street by charity touters so it has some benefits Grin

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 25/05/2018 19:16

I say resting bitch face & will continue to do so. I'd love to be sorry but I just can't.

PuppyMonkey · 25/05/2018 19:19

Nope, that’s complete bollocks.

Resting face is the joke.

So Highway, you have a “Fuck Off Resting Face.”

You wouldn’t say you had a Resting Fuck Off Face.

This appears to describe my grandparents' cat very well. Snoopy was nice to them, but didn't like anyone else. Her preferred occupation was to sit in the corner and glower at people. (Trust me. It wasn't a glare or a frown. It could only be described as a glower.) My sister said Snoopy had RBF but in her case it seemed somewhat intentional.

OP thank you, this thread is a public service.

YetAnotherNewName1000 · 25/05/2018 19:29

OP i agree with you - resting bitch has always annoyed me too...'cos it's wrong! Grin

HettyB · 25/05/2018 19:33

THANK YOU. Whenever I say “bitchy resting face” people look at me like I’m the one who has got it wrong... idiots.

PercyPigAddict · 25/05/2018 19:48

I'm so glad it's not just me! Bitchy resting face means someone's face looks bitchy when it's at rest, no matter what their actual personality. Resting bitch face would imply the person IS a bitch, and their face happens to be at rest.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 25/05/2018 19:59

You are right op, it does make more sense that way round.
I have either knackered and about to cry resting face or sour enough to curdle milk resting face. I can't help it. Could be worse though, I could have "someone holding a plate of dog poo under my nose" resting face.

PuppyMonkey · 25/05/2018 20:03

A public service yes, I see that. Grin

I think you've made that one up!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/05/2018 20:16

I’ve never felt the opportunity has arisen for me to describe someone in either way. How weird you’re all using it as a description willy nilly.

bigmouthstrikesagain · 25/05/2018 20:18

Personally I prefer "Resty Bitching face" but whatever.

Raederle · 25/05/2018 20:20

Those three words have now lost all meaning. No matter how you say it all my ears hear is a void.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 25/05/2018 20:24

Er no! It’s resting bitch face. Bitchy resting face makes no sense at all.

UrsulaPandress · 25/05/2018 20:28

Odfod

I have the original resting bitch face. Inherited from my dad.

When I am resting I have the face of a bitch. A really angry pissed off bitch.

halfwitpicker · 25/05/2018 20:28

What's the difference?

pigsDOfly · 25/05/2018 20:31

Resting bitch face is better. It sound harder, more punchy and well, just better.

Bitchy resting face? Nah.

PuppyMonkey · 25/05/2018 20:45

“When I am resting, I have the face of a bitch.”

Therefore you have a bitchy resting face.

I can see this is going to take all night. Grin
