Umm…thanks, I think…
I recently had the following convo…
Friend: Ohmigosh! Hi! You look great today!
Me: Aww, really? Thanks!
Friend: Yeah your face looks so small today!
Me: Uhhh…umm…thanks.
I think only in East Asian culture would this be considered a compliment, er I guess more like a complisult.
What’s the latest complisult you’ve heard lately?

My face is huge – I’ll never get that one! My most recent one was from my mom,
“Of my three daughters, you’re the least mean.”
I think I lost that status before I left Arkansas, but the way things are going since I left I may soon wear the crown again. Go me!
YES! That small face obsession is SO WEIRD! Sorry, momentary freakout
The always wonderful… You look great! Have you lost weight?… So what are you saying? I’m FAT?
(Well I might be… but I don’t need to be TOLD that!)
@saintvi - Mine too! I was thinking that this morning… that man my eyes look small in my huge face. lol
what in the world.
i can’t think of any, but i think i can safely say it came from my mom, whatever it is…sigh.
lol, i heard some asians say that. it made me lol.
oh my…
That’s…odd. I got “You’re my favorite gay friend” the other day.
Someone said to me once after seeing me at the beach, “You’re not nearly as fat as I thought you were!”. Oh… wow… yeah… what do you say to that?? And you know, I don’t think I’m anywhere close to fat!
lol I love that word…. I love it when I learn a new one.

I got a haircut, and my mom said it was “such a nice haircut for a fat girl”.
I’m pretty sure that just counts as an insult
Haha…I had never heard that before.
funny,
i have been growing the hair and beard out since september. people call me grizzly adams, hippie, trapper john but this one lady i know comes up and says “your beard and hair is getting long, you look like a homeless person”. I was like thanks i think?!
complisult! oh my…I love it..
… one adjuhshi came up and took a picture.. and said my face look really big.. then be proceeded to walk about 20 feet away from me… and take another picture and showed me…,”ah, much better”…..^^;
My mom’s friends always “compliment” on my pale skin. It’s a compliment for Asians, but to me that sounds like I am sick and dying. Pale = Unhealthy? No?
I got something like that while I was at school, but I don’t remember what it was. I believe that I may be suffering from short-term memory loss.
Complisults…I get those all the time, I’m sure.
I can’t recall any right now.
A complisult… nice amalgam
I had a child greet me enthusiastically and, with a giant sincere smile, say “Your face doesn’t look greasy at ALL today!”
