People Share What Insults Can Be Disguised As Compliments And Here’re 40 Of The Most Savage Ones

Complimenting a person is one of the fastest ways into their heart. However, delivery matters because as you're about to see, the line between making someone smile and getting punched in the face can be just a couple of words.

Recently, Redditor u/shamilat made a post on the platform, asking other users: "What's a compliment and an insult at the same time?" And people immediately started sending in their suggestions.

Whether the phrases were coming from personal experiences or imagination, these one-liners have to be some of the most ambiguous things you can say!

People Share What Insults Can Be Disguised As Compliments And Here're 40 Of The Most Savage Ones I always get "Wow, we used to think you were a real b***h but you're actually really nice!" from friends at some point. It makes me so sad that I'm a naturally shy person around a new group of people. It makes me so self-conscious when I meet new people because I know that line and it's variants will eventually be said again.

I know they didn't mean it rude, but I most certainly didn't want to look 17 while pushing my kid around in a stroller at 30. I remember catching someone looking at me when I was pregnant and I could see the judgement in their eyes so I not so subtly put my left hand on my stomach so the person could see my engagement ring and wedding band.

Some of these are misguided attempts at being nice or trying not to be awkward; it requires a fairly high level of social awareness to discern the difference.

I feel like a lot of this depends on tone and body language. When my kiddos were little they were 18 months apart. At one point they were about the same height with different builds and coloring; one looked like me and the other looked like their dad. We've joked around about needed a maternity test with the one who looked like him. I'd get the question of "Ooh do they have the same dad?" an amazingly often amount. I got so I could tell if the person was judging and basically using that as a way to disparagingly call me easy or if they were in the same boat and trying to connect as a fellow human. It felt really different based on the tone/body language.

"I don't care if you are a satan-worshipper, I still like you." This was said to me by my little sister one day when she was a kid, when I was back in town for a visit after spending a few years out of state. Not sure, but apparently someone decided that moving away meant you were going off to worship satan or something. Never found out who said that to her.

When people say "your so tall in real life! Do you play sports?" No, no I don't. Just because I'm tall does not mean I'm athletic.

That was a joke, and a good one, as it needs a LOT of maintenance not to die on you.

Call people on it! When they insult, maybe they do know they are being horrible, or maybe they really aren't thinking how they words can affect? Say something!

I'm vegan. After I've baked and shared a vegan pudding: "yum. That was good. Didn't taste vegan at all." Yeah, I suppose chops don't taste vegan either.

I don't think that's what's happening here. I've been insulted more by women, as a woman then by men, and in more than half of these both parties could be anyone.

Let's not forget Bishop's quote to Ellen Ripley ... "Not bad for a human" ... although he meant to be very friendly at that moment. Sometimes you must be smart enough to get a witty compliment 🙂
