    Default Backhanded Compliments

    When I worked ER, one day I had to start an IV on a male patient. I was all busy getting the IV in when he said

    "I'll bet you were really something back in your day!"

    Hmmmm.

    Also while I worked in ER, an older, lovely Physician's Assistant was told by a patient

    "Wow. You are almost beautiful!"



    Does anyone want to share any backhanded compliments you have received?

    There's a really old backhanded compliment (slur) many dislike hearing.

    When all else fails in an argument with some people who must ALWAYS be right, just use this one:

    "Are Your Parents aware that you, as their only child, survived the abortion?"

    I have got this a few times.


    "Wow, you are actually really smart"
    We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
