What does this mean??

A piece of s hit is not at all pretty for a vast percent of the world population, thence it is an insult. For a more exact meaning you should provide the context.

It seems to be 'pretty as ***', rather than pretty as '***'.

'As ***' is usually an intensifier of the adjective: 'stupid as ***', 'hard as ***', etc., meaning 'extremely stupid', 'extremely hard' respectively.

In this instance, however, there seems to be an element of irony in the lyric. I would say it was an insulting compliment.

I think it means extremely pretty. I don't think it's meant to be an ironic insulting compliment, it's just a figure of speech.

Thank you all for your help.

Here's the context "You look well suited like you came to win / ****, spite and malice, your degrees of sin / Cruising for pity and looking pretty as *** / Ace take your chances / Queen wish you luck".

Thanks for making clear the intensifier status of 'as ***'. I think that, considering the context, it is a compliment which is not ironic at all

Maybe we should all do some field research and try it out on some girls we know.

Will report back when I get out of hospital...

What the saying means is that a girl is very very hot. F*k is an adjetive and a verb just depending on the usage. So when someone says such and such is blank as f*k it is takes the noun to the extreme.

eg. She is ugly as **** = really ugly girl

She is pretty as **** = hot chick

he is fast as **** = really fast dude.

it just mean that your really really pretty its not a insult it is a complement.

Just a similar example, I read it in a novel. "She goes out with a **** hot salesman, who is rich as ****."

It was a compliment, too...
