face (slang)
Usage Note
Gueule literally refers to an animal's mouth or maw, but in informal and vulgar slang it is widely used for a human face or mouth. Ta gueule! is a very rude way to tell someone to shut up. The phrase avoir de la gueule (to have style or presence) is more positive and colloquial.
Examples
"Le chien ouvre sa grande gueule."
Natural Translation
The dog opens its big mouth.
