(as) —— as sin informal Having a particular undesirable quality to a high degree: as ugly as sin miserable as sin...- As Marshall commonsensically observes, this whole trial balloon is beside the point, since everything points to the perp or perps being ‘guilty as sin.’
- They look miserable as sin, but they are all wearing raincoats, and seem to be rather warmer than you.
- And if you are ugly as sin and suddenly find yourself being chatted up by a pretty female or a handsome male, who wants specific information from you, consider seriously why you are suddenly the centre of attention.
