Your girlfriend has probably never heard that phrase before if she took offense from it. Tell her that you weren't trying to call her ugly and a lot of people say that to each other (Y'know because it rhymes).

These are the beautiful hints in life that let you know someone is not right for you. I wouldn't call this an FYL; be glad you are learning these things

In a while crocodile! Perhaps tell her what it is, rather than her getting offended from a lack of knowledge

Some people just have bad hearing compared to others, she probably won't be hung up about it.

In Russian speaking countries crocodile is a metaphor for ugly face. Is she Russian?
