Constructive Compliment

1: A suggestion that is delivered with encouragement.

2: An idea that does not truly exist and is an excuse for trying to politely state that someone could easily do better, or that they are awful at whatever the constructive compliment is aimed at.

3: Something one makes up in Home Economics because your group is crap at their cooking assignment and only you seem to know it, saying that they can do much better in a politer way than saying "Dude, are you really this bad? You can fucking do better."

See constructive criticism and compliment.

compliment survivor

Kind of person who overreacts an everyday compliment like "you look amazing", says it's inconvenient and inappropriate and/or goes full Karen about it until the other person regrets being born / having said a word.
Oh no, he said "beautiful"? How dare he!... Honey, stay strong. You're still here. You're a compliment survivor.
