Backhanded compliments

seven of nine · 15-03-2020 7:35pm #1

I was once told "you are really great at making mediocre dinners" :pac: I actually love that one so much, I cant be mad about it and it's true. Spag bol, cottage pie etc. Tbf though I do do a great roast.

Another one was when i was called aside by a girl I was out with and she said "you look deadly tonight...but you would look so much better with a bit of fake tan"

On the other hand I was once called a Weapon by someone which was meant as an insult but I take it as a compliment :cool:

Just a lighthearted thread, for a bit of levity.

Well, this is better than all your other posts anyway.

Sid The Sexist in Viz had some defivinitve ones. Dance floor chat up lines like, 'You dinna sweat much for a fat lass' which invariably ended up with him getting a bottle broken over his head.

I believe there's a great line in the committments movie or maybe the snapper .... "You don't sweat much for a fat bird"

Best I have personally heard has been.... "The bit of weight suits you" said by one female to another.

Sorry about that · 15-03-2020 7:51pm

Said about an engagement ring being shown off, "isn't it lovely and neat?"

I was once complimented on my new glasses only to be told i should now do something with my face

Better Than Christ · 15-03-2020 10:31pm

Someone once told me that my face is so anonymous and inoffensive that if she closed her eyes, she couldn't picture me.

'Its not like you to be funny'......
'You are taking yourself too serious'.... and sometimes they agree!

I was once told in the pub after a hurling match by a loyal club supporter when I met him at the counter.....

"Jaysus BnB, you weren't as bad as usual today...!!!!"

That’s a very hurtful thing for your Mum to say to you

You dont look as big when u stand up.

partyguinness · 17-03-2020 1:20pm

I was always praised for my 'commitment' on the pitch...:(

frag420 · 17-03-2020 1:21pm

You’re looking fierce well, we’re ya sick?

Bobblehats · 17-03-2020 1:27pm

You do get some awful mutton dressed up as lamb it has to be said. I’ve an aunt in law who said I was gettin very tall! Out of all the cousins I’d be the shortest. As the oldest...just really facetious puerile shįte from a grown women herself.

Sardonicat · 17-03-2020 1:28pm

'I love your engagement ring. It's so unusual. I've never seen such a dainty one before.'

beerguts · 17-03-2020 1:31pm

I couldn't have done it with out you.

Same, but I valued it all the same. Imagine having no ability and no heart. Heart gets you plaves ability cannot.

anewme · 17-03-2020 1:45pm

Someone once said to me...."do you know, you'd be an ideal candidate for a makeover? " I just laughed and they continued, "no, I mean, do you know there are some people that you could do nothing with......."

Good to know I'm one of the ones who could be saved.....

Well it had to be our strong point. I can think of plenty of lads with far more ability but no balls- waste of time.

Bumped into an old underage GAA coach a few years back and he was pissed. Kept telling me how great I was (as in 25 years ago) and I was always the first name on the teamsheet and not the 2 intercounty minors that went on to win AI senior medals....he knew I would give 100% and fight for everything .:o...nice to hear I suppose. You gotto play to your strenghts.

I once punched a teammate on the pitch for not trying..in fact I was hoping to get him off the pitch. Unbelievable skill wise and would have played intercounty with his eyes closed but bad attitude and gave up too easily. We all played with lads like that. Drove me insane. One day he lost the ball and never tracked back...just left it didnt give a ****. I went nuts and went for him. Nobody stopped me and old man bursting with pride.

That's a lovely dress you're wearing, do they have it in your size?

Congratulations! I heard you stopped beating your wife

Esel · 17-03-2020 10:13pm

Your bum doesn't look big in that.

Your Face · 17-03-2020 10:16pm

You're a nice person.

Awh bless.

You're sort of cute-ish when you get mad and you're trying to think of something smart to say back but fail. Awh.

Widdershins · 18-03-2020 11:23am

"Thank you for making a man of me."

I restored his confidence and you could say it went to his little leprechaun head a bit.
