    No, the phrase doesn’t have anything to do with being misleading or not. It just means they look like a shitty, bitchy person on the outside. It may or may not be accurate. It definitely sometimes is not.

      “Misleading” does not need to be purposeful.

      What you just described is like the textbook definition of “unintentionally misleading.”

        They didn’t say it was purposeful or not, just that it isn’t always misleading… Sometimes someone can have RBF and actually be exactly like they look
