Well as long as they get their fizzog on the gogglebox.
I love this! Is it Yiddish in its origins?
This is just British slang. ‘Fizzog’ (face) derived from the word ‘physiognomy’ (a persons facial features or expression). ‘Gogglebox’ (tv set) as in to ‘goggle’ (look at) a box.

According to google ‘fizzog’ comes from the Black Country which is an area of England’s West Midlands.
