Compliment

Something nice said about someone else, often to the "someone else" about whom the nice thing is said. Great for self-esteem.

Dan complimented Joe for being honest enough to admit that he had actually thought it was spelled 'Mientkiewich'

Complimentary flush

The one required toilet flush at the end of one's defecation. unlike a courtesy flush , which is not required, this is a mandatory flush in toiletry etiquette.

I wish John had used a courtesy flush so he wouldn't stink up the bathroom, but at least he remembered the complimentary flush after taking a shit.

50/50 Compliment

A compliment that also has a rude insult poorly disguised within it.

Upon hearing a 50/50 Compliment, you will not know whether to say "Thanks" or "Fuck you".

Christopher: "Wow, Laura, you're hair looks much better today than it usually does".

Laura: "Uhh, Thanks for the 50/50 compliment...Go fuck yourself".

Nigger Compliment

The act of giving someone a compliment on something that ordinary people deal with because they are things that need to be done. Like Chris Rock says, "Nigga's always trying to take credit for some shit that other motherfuckers do as a normal part of life. "I take care of my kids!" "You're supposed to take your kids you underachieving son of a bitch!" " I ain't NEVER been to jail!" "You ain't SUPPOSED to go to jail!"

Ashley: Hey, what are you doing?
Dave: Paying my bills online...
Ashley: That's good you're taking care of your stuff...
Dave: Ugh, you're giving me a nigger compliment...

mercy compliment

when a person says something that seems like the beginings of a compliment but then just leaves it open ended and very uncomfortable.

"hi how are you?"
"i'm pretty good."
"you dyed your hair."
...

...
"uhh yep"
(turns to friend)
"talk about the epitome of a mercy compliment"

Catfishing for compliments

When someone lacking in confidence creates a hotter online persona to get attention from the opposite sex.

Morgan had low self esteem so she made a fake profile using her gorgeous cousin Heather's pics and went catfishing for compliments.
