Etymology

Alteration of resting bitch face based on the perception of Polish people as culturally having serious looks.

Meanings

  1. (countable, derogatory, slang, uncountable, vulgar) resting bitch face specifically in reference to Polish people
    • Can an entire country have RBF? My ancestors come from Poland, and many Polish people seem to have disgruntled, scowling faces. If we consider Polish history maybe this is understandable. People would naturally have trouble trying to smile while waiting in line for several hours to buy a loaf of stale bread, or anticipating a military attack from the East or West. This would be very understandable! And perhaps we could call it Resting Polish Face or RFP. 2025 January 9, OnyaCobber, “フェイクスマイル”, in note.com:
