    When someone swears at you and calls you names like MF etc, just say "Ah I see your high intelligence is showing."

  • Yup!  That's about the equivalent of going to Charm School and learning to say "fantastic" instead of bullsh*t." :))

    Yes, I learned that. I am a native Californian and when I heard my Southern Mother in law say that to me, I thought she was being a concerned loving mother in law. Until later on when I found out she was just being good at being a mother in law. LOL

    I despise that one. My mother in law used to use that one on me ALL the time. ;+

    I don't listen to the words. I listen to the tone.  

    That is what makes things nasty or nice.


    WOW.  That looks spectacular on you.

    Well-meaning but utterly deflating "encouragement" like, "it's easy, anyone can do it!", and "you can do anything if you put your mind to it."

    Lies, both of them, because the victim obviously can't do whatever it is.
