1. You are a ROCK STAR! (I often shorten this to say - YOU ROCK!!) I love this saying and use it fairly often when folks really pull off something great. I'm not really sure why a 'Rock Star' is something special, but... I do love me some classic rock music!
2. My Handsome Dude!! I still get twitter-pated when my hubby is all shined up and ready to take me out on the town. (I also call him my Stud-Muffin, but he HATES that compliment no matter how affectionately I give it...LOL) He looks AND smells nice....!! So handsome, I am soooo lucky!
3. Adorable! I often use this when someone has created or made something from scratch or with their hands and it tickles the eyes... I also use it fairly consistently when it has to do with animals or children/infants.
4. Cool Beans! This is one of my favorite sayings that I've picked up from my (adult) kids and I use it often to admire something or someone...
5. Amazing! Probably one I'd use when someone thinks up something that is unique, wonderful and stands out.
6. You Complete Me! This is a really good one and I use it sparingly with my sweet husband! This typically comes out of the tool box when he provides the voice of reason and balances me out... ok, this happens more than I like, but he is such a great 'compliment' to me!
7. You move like Jagger! This is a new one from the song by Maroon 5... AND I LOVE IT!! Cause I want to move like Jagger... You want the moves like jagger, I've got the moves like jagger, I've got the mooooooves... like jagger..... you can't help but make yourself MOVE LIKE JAGGER!
7. You move like Jagger! This is a new one from the song by Maroon 5... AND I LOVE IT!! Cause I want to move like Jagger... You want the moves like jagger, I've got the moves like jagger, I've got the mooooooves... like jagger..... you can't help but make yourself MOVE LIKE JAGGER!
8. Hey good lookin', what cha got cookin'? This is an oldie but goodie, everyone likes to be called, 'good lookin' :O) This one comes from (in my era) Jimmy Buffet, but you gotta enjoy an old Hank Williams version.
9. Do that again! That is a great compliment to ask someone to repeat what they did because you liked it so much! Two is ALWAYS better than one, right?
10. For #10, I am going to combine two things that are the biggest compliment - honesty and trustworthiness. If someone tells you that you are honest or trustworthy - those (to me) are the most meaningful a person can give/receive, because if you have that, you have 'everything'!
As I have been contemplating compliments this week, I've discovered (or remembered) a few things that I want to pass along -
- First, when giving a compliment, it must be sincere - people can see right through a fake compliment and you'll loose points instead of getting them!
- It's hard for me to think of receiving compliments, although everyone wants to... it's much easier to give than to receive, but it is important that a person can gratiously receive compliments as well as give them!
Happy Monday Listicles! Head on over to Stasha's blog to find more listicles for some fun reading!
I liked the move like Jagger one. That was quite inventive and yes, I'd love someone to say that to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful someday someone will say that about me! :) (although doubtful! LOL)
DeleteCool beans is a new one on me!
ReplyDeleteOut of all the compliments, I think I use this the most!
DeleteMy daughter had a team at school that they named "Cool Beans." Cool beans!
ReplyDeleteVery good advice at the end! I deem that you do indeed have moves like Jagger.
Ellen
That's really fun that they named it Cool Beans! Everyone at school wants to be 'cool'! :)
DeleteYou are a great compliment giver. I say cool beans a lot too! And if one is a stud muffin that moves like Jagger, he pretty much has it all :)
ReplyDeleteStasha - I so love your listicles and I bet you can tell I'm quickly addicted! Thank you for sponsoring it! And you are right - a stud muffin that moves like Jagger... I think I mighta died and went to heaven as I dream about THAT!
DeleteI'd like someone to tell me I moved like Jagger. Preferably Adam Levine. ;)
ReplyDeleteright? I do love him more and more on the Voice and I definitely need to download that song to my iPod! I had it in my head ALL DAY after I wrote up that blog post!
DeleteLove number 7. That is a great song! And now it will be playing in my head for the rest of the day. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was replaying all day long at work! I definitely need to download it for sure! You got the moves like Jagger!
DeleteHow can you not go with Hank? And "honesty and trustworthiness" so true. Nothing better than that.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, it was a tough call - but I honestly knew if from Jimmy Buffet and didn't know Hank sang it first - honest! It is a good version tho and yes - honesty and trustworthiness - it's where it's at!
DeleteGreat list!
ReplyDeleteI love cool beans and you rock!
And I too want Moves Like Jagger!
-r
You got moves like Jagger!! Adam's song sure is the wildfire on my blog! I do love that song - and really all of the compliments! They are all definitely my Top 10!
DeleteI like 'Cool Beans'! Makes me think of my nickname "Jilly Beans" so I could be corny and say "Cool Beans, Jilly Beans!" Oh boy, I am way too corny...
