Backpfeifengesicht is a German word meaning: someone deserving of a face slap.
Someone with a punchable face, as explained to me by a German speaker.

Nice. Now I just need to figure out how to pronounce that.

Though, a Backpfeife is an open-handed slap, not a punch.

Roughly:
Buck-(p)five-fun-gay-seech-t.
[ˈbak|pfaɪ|fən|gə|ˌzɪçt]
But you probably won’t be able to pronounce the proper ch/ç-sound, which is (phonetically) between the „ch“ from „loch“ and „sh“. Use a „sh“, we‘re used to it.
