idioms

Dear Teachers,

I need your help in clarifing the following :-

the idiom (in your face) was explained in Cobuild dictionary of Idioms,
i understand its meaning but the example that was given by the dictionary
was not totally understood, it goes like this :


Wry, Wity, and downright rude.
Lea's act combines stand up with gusty Jazz
and blues. totally in your face


thanks for your help

Wry, [w]i[t]ty, and downright rude.
Lea's act combines stand up with gusty Jazz
and blues. totally in your face

I think that in your face there means bold and outspoken and uninhibited and definitely not shy or understated.

Does that help?

:)
