The balance is........ wait what? She dindn't say shit. Hold on...I know what this is.... ass-kiss·ing? ? [as-kis-ing] Show IPA –noun Slang: Vulgar . the practice or an instance of attempting to curry favor by the excessive use of compliments, praise, or the like.
How is it ass kissing to express your opinion without insulting the person? There is always a tactful way to still get your opinion across. Saying as you stated as an example "I really don't like it, I think its a bit over cooked on the outside and meat is still red on the inside" is totally okay in my eyes. It's not praising,but not insulting either. It's a healthy middle. Especially when you add an advice like "Maybe next time when cooking this dish try to ...(insert whatever you think may be useful) " it is very constructive and I'm all for that.
huh? I agreed with what you said..........and I wasn't saying "YOU" were ass kissing... I was commenting on the "e-butt rub" that was given to you, when you really didn't say anything earth shattering...... "Wow and thus the balance is restored. " huh? what did you say that somehow "restored balance" All you did was.........well...........never mind. You had your ass kissed...I saw it, I saw it.
Get ready for me...again! Heh. Well, the threads here have their ups and down. But for the most part, it's invigorating.
Of course not. But claiming you are the deliver is a stretch. Or as I call it, kissing a lil boootay.
A "welcome back" is what happens when someone is missed, like Be-you-tiful. If nobody misses one, in fact if nobody really likes one, I can understand how one wouldn't know the dynamic.
