| 1. | French compliment | ||
|
A statement phrased like a compliment that is actually more condescending than flattering, generally coming from a beautiful French woman. "You speak French very well, for an American."
"I just love the way you embrace your round figure when you dance." "You must have a fantastic metabolism. I would never be able to eat such a big dessert." "How daring of you to wear such a lively color." "Marie just told me my bag was 'interesting.' I'm pretty sure that was a French compliment." |
