Wife says: Husband get me new phone. Husband: your phone is new. Wife: My phone is not good to look at: ...Bu hao kan, meaning it's ugly. It made me laugh then choke. I love it. in French you can say (informally) 'moche comme un cul' as ugly as my bum bum (very nice way of translating it). It would be the equivalent of 'fugly' in English slang.
