Cão chupando manga

Portugais

Sens

Moche comme un pou

Exemple

Acordou com cara de cão chupando manga depois daquela festa.

Il s'est réveillé moche comme un pou après cette soirée.

Origine

Cão here is a Northeastern euphemism for the devil — calling him 'the dog' to avoid naming him directly. The image of the devil sucking on a fibrous mango — squinting, grimacing — gives the picture of the ugliest possible expression.
