I seem to have perfected "veiled insults".
It consist of praising the person, but adding words like "good attempt". This gives the impression that the person tried, but still wasn't good enough (HAH, see that there? See it? See what I did?).
It's the ultimate insult. That person can't exactly return the "favour" without looking completely stupid, and it's a blow to their self-confidence, too.
It just makes them feel like... um...
You took a look, decided that they sucked, but felt that you should at least put a nice little comment to cheer them up. It also makes them feel like you know that they know they're not that good, so you feel the need to cheer them up a little.
The best thing is that it doesn't even sound sarcastic or nasty. It's perfect.
Veiled insults for the win.
Incidentally, if you throw me a veiled insult, I'm just gonna ignore the "veiled" part and the "insult" part. The only part I'll actually pay attention to is the "encouragement" part and "praise" part.
Off to throw around more of 'em veiled insults ~ baiii ~
