Is being called shrexy a compliment or an insult?
Hahaha it's kinda both. It's almost always said sarcastically. Shrek, is obviously not attractive but he was SO unattractive that the internet decided to do whatever it took to classify him as sexy. So if something is ugly and attractive it can be shrexy, if someone is sarcastically saying an unattractive person/thing is attractive that's shrexy or if someone is very attractive but vain/insecure (ie keeps asking about their looks all the time) they can sarcastically be called shrexy as a way of mocking the idea they're not attractive.

LOL. Not the gumdrop buttons...
Anyway, Shrek isn't sexy. I find it to be insulting... unless if they were using the term as in Urban Dictionary.

They're saying all the layers that make you up are sexy... which would be a compliment. But ogres are like onions because they have layers... hmm...
It's an insult to your intelligence. We have an entire book of actual words that you could use. Please use it.

Is that a reference to Shrek? Or is it a portmanteau of "Shrew" and "Sexy"? (meaning you are sexy but mean)

A compliment, of course. Just look at him 😍 Being compared to him in any way, shape, or form, is the greatest gift of all.

For many people, Shrexy means you don't just like the looks of the person. Though you find them attractive, you also like the various layers of their character and personality.

Nothing about Shrek is considered to be attractive. Any reference to being similar to Shrek in any way is an insult.

I'm not sure. How was it said? What easy their tone like when. They they said it. Did they say it to you? Do they generally speak kindly to you.

it's strange. Very often my friends and I recognize the somatic similarity between some girls and shrek. But we don't call them ugly, they simply remind us of that character. I wouldn't call it totally an insult 😂
