1. Your ____ is excellent, for a ____.

2. “My, you have a healthy appetite “

3. You seem happier than usual

4. You look younger.

5. “Strong and independent” has gained quite the notorious meaning it seems. To some it’s a praise/compliment to others its a huge red flag.

6. I heard “bless you little heart”

   is actually a stealth insult.

7. Ending anything with “for you”

   – “wow you’re looking good for you”
   – “that’s very well done for you”
   – “that’s great for you”
