Talking about her profile picture.

Lol. She definitely doesn't have a horseface. She does look a bit faded though.

Yeah, we mean it about most women. Look at 90% of them next time you're out.

Her profile picture doesn't do her justice. She looks like she has a slow puncture.

Kate Bush can look like two completely different people from two different angles.

Bad photo. Kate Bush was damn attractive in the late 70s.

Like most common British insults, it's not meant to be literal. It's just a phrase that makes people laugh...maybe.

If you took it literally, it should denote red faced.

Anyway, it's kind of outdated and not really used any more.
