The Other Side of Wonderland

Wednesday, April 12, 2006

My favorite kind of insult is the kind where, after you insult someone, you have to explain that it wasn't a compliment. Not where you're all like, "Nice pants, jerk," because that's too easy, but where you're like, "That new haircut makes you look like a real hipster. And I don't mean that as a compliment."

It's like a double insult, because not only do you call someone names, but then you don't even allow their ego the easy out of convincing themselves it was really a comment on their excellent taste and style. Very nice.
