Prompt: a back-handed compliment
After a brief reading of several back-handed compliments amidst laughter before
my eyes appeared the following one which hit home – “You must be such a strong
person” which translates into “The way your life turned out would have driven
most people to suicide.”
Yikes!!
Perhaps I should be thankful those biceps atrophied when I stopped lifting
weights – a bit of humor from within the soul.

That’s a good example of one!
Thank you. 🙂
Sometimes they can be pretty funny, but most times it just hurts someones feelings. I don’t know if you ever watched ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ on TV, but the mom Marie was an expert at backhanded compliments. She was so awful! 🙂
Yes, I watched that TV show and ‘yes’ she was an expert at those type of compliments. 🙂
