Compliment Sandwich

The use of strategically placed compliments to buffer an otherwise abrasive remark. These compliments should surround the unpleasant remark, preventing the recipient of the compliment sandwich from becoming insulted.

"Hey, congrats on the new car it looks great! We should defintely joy ride this weekend! Maybe I could get that 10 dollars you owe me while were at it! You're gonna look so cool in this car I can feel it!"

"I just wanna thank everyone for the great effort they put in last saturday to really make things a success. Please stop parking in the faculty lot, or you will be fired. Also, I would like to say you're all doing a phenomenal job so far this year!"

"whoa... I should feel insulted right now... did I just get a compliment sandwich?"

fisting for compliments

When you're an attention whore and you feel the need of constant attention, but you suck at self-pity so you fist people until they shower you with applause.

Maynard: Wow, I am so gross! I will never be fine fresh n fierce :((((
Peggy: Cool.
Maynard: You don't take pity on me and give me sympathy by calling me pretty? Would you change your mind if i fisted you?
Peggy: Go away. Stop fisting for compliments...

Compliment

Something you won't get if you keep on giving them.

When was the last time a girl told you that you had pretty eyelashes? Never, since you give a girl a compliment every time you see one instead. Guys are giving up compliments too easy these days.
