Something often easy to give, but very hard to get.

Angelo: But you're so good at giving them!
Frank: *Internal screaming*

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.

Sneak self-congratulation compliment

When someone leaves what seems like a nice, innocent comment but is actually a sneaky way of congratulating themselves. Usually for something that doesn't deserve congratulations.
This comment left on a soundtrack that was used in the Umbrella Academy series:
Sneak self-congratulation compliment: "Thank you umbrella academy for reintroducing this to the next generation."

It seems like an innocent comment, but is actually a way for the commenter to congratulate themselves for knowing the soundtrack before it was in the series. The commenter also believes that they are better than the people who are just now discovering it, and that he/she should get a reward for knowing the song for a longer period of time.

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.

argumentative compliment

When someone you have strong feelings for does not understand how truly amazing they are!
You literally do NOT understand how amazing you are. An argumentative compliment is when someone tries to tell you that you are amazing when really they are the amazing one.
