Indirect compliment

When some jackass is too afraid to say how they feel about somebody,so they use urban dictionary to do it without anyone knowing they said it.
An example of an indirect compliment would be:

Steve
The sweetest guy you will ever meet who is full of love and blah blah blah lots of random biased feelings about their imaginary boyfriend.

Seriously, if you right something like this on urban dictionary, then you are sad and pathetic.

Nompliment

Using a descriptive word (adjective, e.g. tasty, delicious, spicy) pertaining to words most commonly used with describing food as a compliment.
"Your face is tasty"
"Why thank you for the nompliment"

As you can see here, said person is using 'tasty' to describe someone as being attractive.

Compliment orgy

When a group of women, often with mediocre looks, excessively compliment one another in a public arena in the hope of elevating their collective presteige in the eyes of onlookers. Compliment orgies usually manifest themselves in Facebook photo comments where one woman uploads a photo, and her friends reply "so pretty!!", "super like", "you look wow!"

The demographic is usually female teens or young female adults who do not have children, and regard others' perception of them as their life's purpose. Occasionally young adult males, feeling left out, attempt to replicate this apparent camraderie. However, the male recipient does not reciporicate because he does not understand the concept of a compliment orgy, while the female recipient feels that responding with anything more than a superficial "thank you" diminishes the elevated image she is building.
Woman 1 uploads photo
Woman 2: so pretty!
Woman 3: you look wow!
Woman 4: super like
Male: (silently thinks) Yet another compliment orgy.
