Keep original as sin, as it’s of historical significance, being a coinage of the famous poet Landor (perhaps we should change the source of the first citation to reflect that, see comment on the talk page), Keep ugly as sin as the (probably) original form, probably Keep guilty as sin or create miserable as sin as (probably) the most common form and Reject the rest Overlordnat1 (talk) 13:56, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

@Overlordnat1: The commonality of phrase is not generally recognized as a criteria for inclusion, the closest thing to that is the general "In rare cases, a phrase that is arguably unidiomatic may be included by the consensus of the community, based on the determination of editors that inclusion of the term is likely to be useful to readers." —The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 17:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Keep ugly as sin per jiffy and original as sin as intended as a pun rather than truly SOP. Delete fugly as sin. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 11:28, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
