Definition of coyote ugly
coyote ugly 
adjective
- extremely ugly. Origin: When caught in a trap, a coyote will sometimes chew it's leg off to escape. A person that is "coyote ugly" is so ugly, that when waking up next to that person with one's arm underneath them, one would rather chew one's own arm off than risk waking them by pulling one's arm out.
