[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Mine is sweet. Someone's kid is acting a fool and they apologize: "Awww... she's sweet. :)"[/quote] Hilarious - and spot on! My go-to is "lovely". You have to be practiced in the art of social niceties and subtleties to decipher the meanings of compliments and invitations. The bottom line is that no Properly Raised and Polite Person would ever say anything rude outright. Makes for some interesting social navigation if you aren't used to it! [/quote] Ah, perhaps that the difference between us "Yankees" and the "Southerners". I consider someone backhandedly sniping like this to be the ultimate in rude. I would bite my tongue and not say anything before I would be so obliquely obnoxious. To me, it's churlish to say something rude, but even worse to mean it, but couch it in such disingenuous phrases.[/quote]
