in his face

Perform an action or say something (usually negative) by getting very close and face to face with someone so they have to pay attention to you. It is intentionally intimidating.

While 'face to face' can be neutral or even natural, 'in his face' is aggressive, intrudes on personal space, and usually does not allow the person an escape route to avoid your action or statement.

'laugh in his face' means to laugh at someone, but not merely participate in laughter; it means that you approach him, get his attention, and let him know that you are laughing at him.

'Get in his face' means to get someone's attention directly, offensively, by physically putting your face close to theirs when you are speaking. The intent is to maintain his attention in such a way that he cannot look or walk away.

what's his face?

what's his/her face?

another way of saying, what's his/her name. it tends to be used more in the northern states, replaced in the south by what' his/her name.

what's his face?

Used in place of a person's name when you forget their name, but you think the person you're talking to knows who it is.

Billy- "Dad, is Mr. ... what's his face? ... taking you to the airport for your business trip, or do you need a ride?"

Dad- "Oh, Mr. Smith? No, actually I fired him this morning. Can you take me before you go to work?"

Billy- "Sure Dad, since you're the greatest!"
