coyote ugly

Gnaw-your-arm-off territory

Coyote ugly describes someone so unattractive that, after a drunken hookup, you'd rather chew off your own arm than wake them—like a coyote escaping a trap.

The term gained currency from the 2000 film of the same name.

It's crude humor about regrettable one-night stands: I woke up next to coyote ugly and snuck out before sunrise.
