Because sometimes That's nice simply isn't doing enough.
There are insults.
There are compliments.
And then there is the far more sophisticated art of saying something so beautifully polite that the other person smiles, says thank you, walks away...and realizes what happened approximately thirty seconds later.
100 Graceful Backhanded Compliments - for the Classy & Sassy is a funny collection of witty comebacks, subtle insults, elegant one-liners, and perfectly polished shade for anyone who prefers their sass served with impeccable manners.
Inside are 100 delightfully questionable compliments, including:
- I love how you never let being wrong affect your confidence.
- You ask the questions everyone else has the manners not to.
- I admire your ambition. Reality has never seemed to discourage you.
- You're proof that clocks are really more of a suggestion.
- You bring something to every room. I'm still deciding what.
- You're absolutely unforgettable. No matter how hard anyone tries.
There's something for the chronically late, the confidently incorrect, the unsolicited advice giver, the office know-it-all, the neighborhood gossip, the conversational monopolizer, and anyone else who has ever made you think, There must be a classier way to say what I'm thinking.
There is.
There are 100 of them.
The perfect funny little gift for:- Your sarcastic best friend
- The queen of subtle shade
- Sisters, girlfriends and coworkers
- Anyone with a dangerously quick wit
- Friends who appreciate dry humor
- Office gift exchanges
- Stocking stuffers and Secret Santa gifts
- Birthdays, girls' nights and friendship gifts
- Anyone who believes good manners and sarcasm can peacefully coexist
Keep it on the coffee table. Leave it on your desk. Give it to the friend who can insult someone so elegantly they need to ask another person whether they should be offended.
Funny, sassy, surprisingly sophisticated, and just subtle enough to maintain plausible deniability.
After all, anyone can be rude.
You have standards.
