February 6th is Pay a Compliment Day

Angry Woman    
A compliment is a polite expression of praise or admiration.

Flattering remarks, tributes, accoldaes, and praise all fall under the same umbrella.

If you get carried away as in a speech or eulogy the expression becomes an encomium which originates from the mid 16th century latin and is somewhat archaiac in these times.

I like to pass on a compliment or two along the way ...

Well, there's the kiss of death:

She's got a great personality !

There's the countryfied standout:

Gee, for a fat girl you sure don't sweat much !

And it's more urbane variant:

You look damn good to be as fat as you is !

You too can have ALL the je ne sais quoi P-Diddy thinks he has.

So I suppose the moral of the story is to be cautious in the rendering of compliments lest you mess up as I have witnessed in the hilarious past.

Happy Pay a Compliment Day to you !
