drop kick compliment

When someone gives you what you think is a compliment but is really an insult.

Wow, I think my Mom just gave me a drop kick compliment yesterday. She tells me, "Out of all your siblings you are the prettiest, but your sister is the smartest".

I said, "Thanks, I think..."

Drive-by compliment

A compliment overheard as you are walking past someone but you have no chance to respond thereby left with a missed connection.

She just commented on my new ink. I couldn't respond to her drive-by compliment in that crowd.

Get the Drive-by compliment mug.

complimentative

Someone who is complimentary about someone or something.

"It is unlikely that someone would want to be seen as having glowing red eyes that risk burning people by dispersing heat or blinding another by intense light, so by negatively comparing her eyes to the sun, he is inevitably, being very complimentative, as well as realistic."

Get the complimentative mug.

complacent

A state of mind that everyone in the world is trapped in except for kids and teenagers, hippies, protestors, old people, and anyone who ever bothered to follow their dreams(and succeeded).

If being bitter and complacent is what it means to grow up, then let me stay immature forever.

ninja compliment

When you compliment someone, but it first sounds like an insult, (and probably is). Called a ninja compliment because the compliment is in there, but it's as hard to find as a ninja.

Janet: "You look great now you're not so fat. Before you looked really bad"

Jane: "So, she said I looked really bad before, but I'm better now I'm not so fat."

Jill: "Wow, so a ninja compliment then...."
