fisting for compliments

When you're an attention whore and you feel the need of constant attention, but you suck at self-pity so you fist people until they shower you with applause.

Maynard: Wow, I am so gross! I will never be fine fresh n fierce :((((
Peggy: Cool.
Maynard: You don't take pity on me and give me sympathy by calling me pretty? Would you change your mind if i fisted you?
Peggy: Go away. Stop fisting for compliments...
