Sucker: "What do you mean?" Fisher: "I mean...I just *sigh*...I don't know." Sucker: "Seriously, what is it?" Fisher: "I just wish I could still wear my size 0 pants." Sucker: "No! You look so amazing right now! You're perfect and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!" Fisher: "I guess *sigh* Thanks." That my friends, was a prime example of compliment fishing.
