It's good for that style: Noncompliments Part II

• Good for you.
• Just keep at it. (When someone shows you their writing, artwork, or any other project they're working on.)
• That sweater doesn’t do you justice.
• You seem much better today (when it was never established that something was wrong).
• It’s good for that style.
• You have a lot of energy.
• “You don’t look a day over 35” (to someone who is clearly much younger – this is a real life incident, in response to wedding photos).
• I wish I was as good as you at saying “No”.
• I was expecting you to be much heavier.
• That’s one of your more becoming hats.
• Well, it’s not the worst idea I've ever heard.
• Your shoes look comfortable.

• "I feel so miserable without you, it's almost like having you here." - Stephen Bishop

• "He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know." - Abraham Lincoln

• A modest little person, with much to be modest about." - Winston Churchill

Seinfeld ref contributed by hawkeye yesterday. Here's the complete dialogue from The Hamptons, Episode 85.

Ben: Elaine, you have children?

Elaine: Me? Oh no, but I'd love to have a baby, I mean, I can't wait to have a baby. I'm just dyin' to have a baby.

Ben: A beautiful woman like you should. You're quite breathtaking.

Elaine: Breathtaking? I'm breathtaking?

(later, after Ben calls the baby "breathtaking")

Elaine: Nobody ever called me breathtaking before.

Jerry: I've never been called breathtaking either.

Elaine: I mean, if he thinks that that baby's breathtaking, then who's not breathtaking?
