Insults That Sound Like Compliments Are Actually Pretty Savage

damn_nation_inc Published 05/10/2020

One of my favorite things as a person who's kind of nerdy about language is the way our words can sometimes have more than one meaning. For instance. telling someone you dislike that you hope they "Get everything in life that they deserve," it could easily be seen as a compliment if that person isn't aware that you hate them. Redditors were recently asked to share their best examples of complimentary insults (Compli-sults? Insul-pliments? idk), and boy did they ever come through with some good ones.
