Compliment Inflation

When a person (typically a girl), receives so many compliments that the value of successive compliments decrease.

John: Ava, you’re so pretty!

Ava: Okay

John: Do you not like it when I say that?

Ava: No, it’s just that I get told I’m pretty all the time so the compliment doesn’t feel as special.

John: Oh I see, being called pretty has lost it’s effect due to compliment inflation.

compliment baiting

Not to be confused with compliment fishing, compliment baiting is the act of talking about oneself or their achievements, then pausing to wait for someone else to chime in to compliment them.

“when logan was telling his story he paused after he said he beat the guy talking shit to him during his match, he’s compliment baiting”

lazy compliment

Well intentioned, but flat, dull and half-baked expression of admiration.

Sally was disappointed by her date's multiple lazy compliments.

"Your middle is one of my tops, babe."
