From my second husband: You have child bearing hips
From a whacko college roommate: You don't seem fat because you don't dress fat (I guess I didn't wear tent dresses? I was only about 15 pounds overweight when she said that too!)
From current co-workers: "You have the shiniest hair.. you should be on a shampoo commercial!" (Yeah, except for that grey that's creeping in)
From numerous people my whole life: "You have the funniest laugh, it makes me laugh just to hear you laugh" (Is that a compliment? I haven't decided yet! I was voted Funniest Laugh and Biggest Smile in High School)
In college: The TKEs all called me Adrienne, for Adrienne Barbeau, which I thought was a horrendous insult, but I think, in retrospect, they were being complimentary... I also found it insulting to have men whistle and cat call from the dorm windows as I walked by, but realized later that I was supposed to be flattered?
