In England we have a saying, about certain people places and people - we say they are 'rough as a badger's arsehole'.

This means the place has more than its fair share of earthy citizens.(the saying floated into my mind, when I was thinking about the town of Warrington where they have just nicked a bronze memorial - I once did a gig there, and whilst I am sure Warrington has many delightful and cultured people living there - the landlord of the pub that I played at - well, the saying fitted him like a glove.)

Or with people - it might mean, they are uncouth, and consequently not terribly attractive.

I wondered if there is an American equivalent saying.
