The best compliments

Categories: life things
Tags:: , , ,

For a while now I’ve been meaning to compile a list of what I view to be the greatest compliments one can give. Only tonight did I get the proper inspiration to write them down.

Naturally this list is quite skewed toward compliments that would work best if given to a personality similar to my own. Duh. That’s what makes a good compliment.

I’d love to hear how anyone else’s might differ.

  1. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
  2. Your mother must be a fine woman.
  3. Maybe I don’t believe in you—but only because I know I don’t have to, and I can spend that energy elsewhere.
  4. You always break even. If I believed in God, I would stop, because you always break even.
  5. I curse that typo. Everything else, I want to embroider and pass down to my children.

A work in progress, I should like to think.

    I tried to think of some witty compliments to add to the list but damn, I don’t think I like getting complimented at all. Maybe just “your boyfriends cute.”

  5. Conor says:

    Yeah, I remember when they said that to you because I was standing next to you.
