Mainstream compliments & phrases that can TOTALLY blow up in your face.....  

Hahahahaha. I especially love the Haemophiliac one Faith! Also, saying to the dude with the stick - "Stop being silly, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!" may just fall a tad wide of the mark! I will go and find your discussion right this minute as I think something that's potentially offensive could be just what I need at the moment! Thanks for sharing these, very funny!

LOL..I didn't mean to be offensive to her. Maybe I wasn't and I'm just paranoid, hee!

If we're talking about the ribs discussion, I don't think you would have caused any offense Faith. How could you possibly have forseen something like this anyways? I upset someone by making fun of Oprah last week, so we will always run the risk at some time or another and even when totally unintended. lol. Go figure!

You need a sarcastic and stock standard answer for this one then riya..... Next time they all ask you what you see, tell them "An idiot!" or "A bunch of idiots!" Or take that line from The Sixth Sense..... "I see DEAD people!"

oh,i give back proper by using some non-veg phrases,i dont think i can pen them down here

Non-Veg insults? How cruel riya! lol.

me and cruel???what about those who started it first???

It's not important who actually started it riya; it's who FINISHES it that matters!

toot,toot,poor guy!!!i know it is a disease without a cure!!!

So am I supposed to let you have the last word now? Or later?

i give you the freedom of choice.you can choose,which one is better,ps or water level increasing???(now it is up to your neck)

I guess that now would be the time to let you know what a damn good swimmer I am then riya!

and i thought,you couldnt swim.seems you are bluffing(i see your nose growing)

When did I ever give the impression that I can't swim??? I'm an Australian, riya..... Not being able to swim would be unforgiveable!

ok.ok dont you ever tire out???i am

Me tire out??? Never! lol. I shall stop now though, just for you riya!

if you dont stop,ill puncture you(indians are famous for that)

I think there comes times with our Wives bala where it doesn't matter WHAT we say, 'cos it's still gonna be taken the wrong way! For no apparent reason whatsoever, even "Good morning" can have us running for our lives once in a while! lol. Ain't it fun!

You said it right.It is sheer fun living with these you know what.

It's a gift that just keeps on giving, bala!

Very sportive optimistic and self motivating.

"Self-conning" is more like it bala!

I just tried to be kind James.

Oh, is your wife watching? lol.

I am more careful this with my wife watching me over my shoulders.

Sorry! 'than this'

Oh no! lol. It's kind of like asking "How was it?" when some one returns from a funeral as well. I wonder if there is a documented etiquette outline on how to deal with conversations regarding funerals? The don't list would be interesting! For example: DON'T say to them that they must be dead tired after such a long day.

Oh you just HAD to go and get all serious on me now didn't ya cyberfluf! Yes, I agree that a person who is at peacve with their affliction or disability is likely to take any comments with a grain of salt that could possibly be misconstrued by someone that was overly sensitive instead. As for the kitten, you are far more kind than I am! I probably would have let the cat smack into the couch just the once to prove a point! lol. (I am bracing myself for the backlash on that one)

I could give you some backlash on that one, but I won't.. you want it too bad . Yes, I had to go all serious on this one because I haven't got any spare pants left so if I am about to contribute in any more of your discussions I will have to be a bit more serious whaha .

Have a snoop through Grandma's dresser cyberfluf. She'll have "special" pants in there for sure and you can then read all you want!

If only I had a grandma's dresser to snoop through... .

Oh! I have just the one still around myself cyberfluf. She lives in the UK, but I call her a couple of times a month.

You are lucky to still have a grandma, James. It's good to hear that you two are still in regular contact. Have a great day .

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!


I don't get it?

I like telling 'em every time we meet that it's my birthday! I make 20 bucks a pop.....

No, I don't, mykl (goodness! there are two of you now!), no I don't know.

I'll have to remember this one arkansos as I know a few follicly challenged people! lol. Maybe the girl you mention played things up a little on purpose..... What a great way to get your own butler for an evening! Hahahaha.

Hahahahaha. What if the person had no ears either?? The horror! Imagine being the Host at a Gala dinner or something and you introduced someone by saying "And let's all give a big hand too....." and THEY had no hands either?

One day I was sitting, talking to a friend. I had a cut in that piece of skin between the thumb and forefinger. I said something about it felt like when you cut too far into something and cut that area with a pair of scissors. My friend said, I wouldn't know what that felt like. I just looked at her like, yeah right. I said, YOU have NEVER cut between your thumb and finger? Never?

She sat there for a minute, then raised her two nubs in the air and shook her head. Nope, never have, she said.

She has no hands and only nubs for arms. I tend to see her as a whole person, physically, because in other ways she is. I just don't think about those things when I talk to her.

I said something about, give me your hand, I want to see something. She held out her little arm and laughed at me.


She is always laughing at me because I say things like that. Fortunately, for me, she has a great sense of humor.

I've had the type of cuts you're talking about. Why is it that the smallest of cuts seem to hurt the most??? Your friend sounds like a wonderful person! I love it when people can face any challenge or affliction in life with a sense of humour. It not only makes them shine as a person, but it also makes everyone around them feel so much less self conscious about everything.

You know that weird picture on my profile page, Exposing Scars? It was my tribute to her.

I have seen this pic before, yes. But I will go and check it again now and refresh my memory..... What a lovely friend you are too then Bo!

Hi Bo, very nice tribute, would you please email it to me? Thanks love

I heard once that George W. Bush waved to Stevie Wonder! lol. Your co-worker must have felt like a right tosser! I've often wondered about the braille on signs too actually. Same goes for road crossings with signs high up on poles saying "Blind cross here". How do they know to cross there?

I do not know what a right tosser is but I am sure you will enlighten me, James.

So that makes two of us that do not quite understand the high-up-where-you-really-can't-reach-them braille signs.

A "right tosser" is an idiot I guess! lol. Maybe sight impaired people carry fourth-dimensional ladders or something that no-one else but them can sense and use?

Well, you know what they say about other senses being enhanced when one is impaired or gone.

Apparently so..... God knows what I gave up to achieve my enhanced stupidity at times though!

It's probably not wise to debate with an amputee and state that their argument has no legs either! Being told they'll have no leg to stand on unless they change their mind is equally borderline! lol.
