Sorta S/O... Backhanded compliments

Cbidt's girl

Cooker's post made me think of the times i've heard people be complete a$$e$ when trying to give a compliment. The "best" one I've gotten was from a guy trying to hit on me "you're really pretty... For a Jewish girl". Needless to say, he did not score that night (or any other with me". He 's now married to a beautiful Christian girl what's the best offensive compliment you've got?

I've always been partial to "You're such a pretty girl, if only you were a little thinner." I carry a ton of weight in my big fat face, so that always makes me feel fab.

Oh yes.  My own mother often says "You are so pretty!  You would be so beautiful if you would just lose some weight!"

I asked my husband what he noticed about me that made him so relentless in his pursuit, and he said first he thought I was just a hot artsy jewish girl, and  I was such a snob he couldn't resist...

uh..thanks.

I was told that my sister was the pretty one and I was the smart one.  That's backhanded for both of us.  Thanks, Grandma!

I also got this from my grandma. Your sister is pretty because she eats crusts.

Since having my daughter two years ago, I have been self-conscious about my weight.  While at a family reunion, I was standing next to my cousing when my mother said, "See, Jess still hasn't lost the baby weight either!"
