Big Uglies

Big Uglies

Big Uglies can mean:
*The term "Big Uglies" is a slang name given to human beings in Harry Turtledove's alternative history series, "Worldwar", by the alien beings called the Race. The name derives from the fact that the Race themselves are no larger than a human child. Thus, human beings being naturally ugly to one of alien origin, the name "Big Ugly" stuck. Conversely, humanity came to call the Race "Lizards" for their chameleon-like appearance.
*Big Uglies is also the name of a store in Glens Falls, New York. It is ran by Hank Pelton, and Sean Brand. They specialize in Trophies, and awards, Screen Printing, and Sports Cards.
*Big Ugly is also the name of a Northern California professional wrestler who is the head trainer at Supreme Pro Wrestling.
