Lizzie Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 This is one of his better moments! OH had finished his sunday lunch today, stretched and got up from the table. "Mmmmmmm I really enjoyed that, thank you, mmmmm lovely, pity it didn't taste that good!" I should explain that he's recovering from flu and his taste buds are naff. But....anymore remarks like that and it will be more than flu he recovers from! Lets hear your backhanded compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spins4me Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I was out with my friend, Joy, and we met someone she hadn't seen for sometime. This person looked Joy up and down and said, "I see you kept the weight off then." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riley Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Mama once said as I tried on a new pair of trousers "Yes, they're very flattering, what size are they?" "They're a 14" "Hmmmm, well, they're obviously cut *very* generously" Edited January 8, 2011 by riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sproggie14 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have been told ( more than once) 'you are actually quite pretty..... for a fat girl' !!!!!!! The usual one is..."you have a lovely face". Which basically means the rest of you is a vile mass of blubber but not too much of it has spread to your face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
