::::::::: (GIYF) A backhanded compliment, also known as a left handed compliment or asteism, is an insult that is disguised as a compliment. One common form is: You know, for being such a fat person, you don't sweat much!! (What every woman wants to hear, I'm sure.) In some other words: there were times when you were constructive, but not so much the other times. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC) |

:::::::::: When I entered asteism in Google, it said "did you mean '''asterism'''". That led to my false comment entered earlier. Sorry. Looking it up in my huge Langenscheidt helped me. Still learning something new every other day from and because of you. |

My English will never be perfect, but I'm trying to improve. My REXX is quite good though, in spite of so many specs to look into :-)--[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 06:41, 19 September 2014 (UTC) |
