Among everybody here, you have the most potential to learn something.
I’ve been told that a few times…
This made me laugh. Thank you
Good to hear my cyanide & happiness obsession bring happiness for someone
What in interesting use of free will
I don’t have one in English, but I have some in German for those who understand.
My Granddad had a female coworker that was higher in rank than him. He would always greet her with “Meine Allerwerteste”. It’s a word play because “Meine Werteste” is equivalent to a very formal version of “my dear”. “Aller” is a superlative form, so basically “My very dearest”. But “Mein Allerwertester” (so the male form of what he used) means “my ass”.
The other one is to use terminology like “Er versucht immer sein Bestes zu geben” (“He always tries to give his best”). In Austria, you are legally allowed to ask for a work testimony from your employer when you are looking for a new job. There is some legislation that prohibits negative speech in these work testimonies so that your employer cannot make you look bad in front of your potential new employer (which makes the whole concept pretty useless, but it is what it is). So to get around that, employers adopted a kind of “secret” code where e.g. “tries to” means “fails to”. So you can use the same kind of terminology to deliver something that sounds like a compliment, but for everyone in the know (which is most people by now) it’s clear that you deeply offended the person you are talking about.
What you lack in evidence or convincing argument, you make up with conviction.
That’s the trick. End with the part that sounds nice
I would agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
I fucked your cousin
😀😀😀…😠
You’re so vain, I bet you think this meme is about you.
I can’t imagine a better day than one spent after your company.

Faster than wisdom. Ha! Gotta remember that.
Was that actually in the show? I don’t remember that one.
I swear I remember pausing it to go “did he really just say that?!” But rewatching the pictured scene in S2E19 he’s speaking with Aang who would not be a worthy recipient of such a burn, and he doesn’t say such a thing to Zuko in that episode
Don’t think so. It’s a Nigerian expression.
There are some good ones:
Unlike the stomach, the brain does not tell when it’s empty
When someone finds a problem to every solution: They are the enemy of progress
So many good ones in there thank you for sharing!
Leftist infighting in a nutshell
Every moment I spend with you is better than the next.
Bravo, that one took the most thought to figure out it was backhanded.
Really got me till the third thought xd
Shakespeare had a banger.
“I was going to challenge you to a battle of wits but I see you are unarmed.”
I also like.
“I could agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.”
“I could agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.”
A former co-worker got me with this one many years ago. I laughed out loud. I’ve never forgotten it.
Got in a literal fistfight in middle school using that first one. Pretty sure they didn’t understand it, and lashed out from ignorance.
A duel with fists is still a duel
Did you win?
Not technically, but they got expelled for it, so yes.
I have a cup with the last line on it
You’re really at the top of the bell curve!
Your intelligence is at least on the top 95% of people.
This took actually long to kick LMAO
me too, but mainly due to “on” rather than “in”.
…I’d also replace “at least” with “possibly”.
probably
so average? is that an insult
Yes
It sounds like you’re calling them intelligent when you’re really saying they’re nothing special.
For about half the people, yea.
more than a half, becasue those not in the half like to think that they are in the half
Good point, but now I’m confused about were I am on the curve.
Most people like to feel like they’re better than most. Mediocrity is an insult to them.
Blessed are the simpletons that never realise or just don’t give a fuck.
You represent the 5th percentile really well!
You are hard to underestimate.
