I Want Read Your Back Handed Compliments
For Those Who Don'T Know... A back handed compliment is a insult looking like a compliment.
Examples are -
- You’re so lucky you don’t have to worry about men/women only liking you for your looks
Translation: Your face scares small children
- You’re such a strong person
Translation: The way your life has turned out would have driven most people to suicide
- You’re lucky you’re so creative – I can’t even draw a stick man
Translation: You’re lucky you’re creative because you have the IQ of a tube of toothpaste
- I wish I were as confident as you
Translation: It must take a lot of confidence for you to wear that skirt with those legs
- Is that your other half? Wow, he/she is gorgeous!
Translation: I’m surprised your significant other is neither ugly nor blind, as you have a face only a mother could love
What are the back handed ones that you were given or have gave???
For me personally my ex-wife would say things like -
"Glad that you took care of the laundry but you didn't fold it like I do..."
Or
"Oh I love the necklace you gave me for Christmas....... Would you be disappointed if we returned it?"
Those are just a few...
What are yours?
