How should I describe the phrase 'Angel with a crooked halo'?

Question

My mom saw the phrase somewhere online and asked me what it means. I know what it means, but I can't for the life of me explain it. Help please?

Answer 1

a broken angel.

Answer 2

I dunno but if asking people on yahoo answers doesnt work try typing your question up on google. Oh and good luck

Answer 3

That the angel seems good but when in reality its not as it seems, there is something wrong with it.

Answer 4

It's the same as "Angels with Dirty Faces" which means that they are basically good peeps with good intentions but occasionally go wrong and get their Halos knocked askew. Your Mom might remember the movie with, I think, Humphrey Bogart and (maybe) Peter Lorre?...........been too long and can't remember.

Answer 5

well.. im guessing it means something like....

an "angel" (or someone who is sweet and totally great personality and such) but with a "crooked halo" (imperfections? not quite Perfect)

Answer 6

this is my opinion, the angel would be kind of like somebody who all the adults like and they think she's sweet and a teacher's pet and stuff while in reality the crooked halo part is referring to her being a brat  to everybody else. (kids at school and stuff)
