I've said this several timea before but I 
don't think it's an issue when one of the last 
glosses in an entry doesn't exactly match the 
register of the original word. "shit-eating 
grin" is a pretty good translation, it's a 
common English expression and will sometimes 
be the best translation, if not every time. 
doyagao is col if not vulg so it's not really 
that much of a jump to begin with. It's also 
good for reverse look-ups.

Yikes. Also, this expression is not vulgar in Japanese so that English gloss is not the best equivalent.
