Big Word Compliments

You look ravishing today!

So, I installed a tracker thing on this blog years ago, that tells me how many people visit the blog, where they accessing the internet, and how they found the page.

Turns out a LOT of people visit this old blog post. Am I so fascinating that someone linked to that one random, 4 year old blog post? Perish the thought!

Nope. Turns out people get directed to that post by doing this:
Googling "big words to compliment people"

Or variations (that don't even have to be spelled correctly)

And they don't stay long (zero seconds)

So, this blog post is dedicated to all you Beauteous, virtuous, exceptional people who are looking to make someone's day more Resplendent.

Small word compliment: You look good today.
Instead of good, try: Alluring, Appealing, Arresting, Beauteous, Charming, Comely, Exquisite, Fetching, Flawless, Gorgeous, Luscious, Magnificent, Photogenic, Ravishing, Resplendent, Statuesque, Stunning, Toothsome (it's a real word!)

Small word compliment: I had a great time!
Instead of great, try: Amazing, Delightful, Exceptional, Fascinating, Glorious, Sublime


Small word compliment:
Good Job!
Instead of Good here, try*: A-OK, Bang up, Banner, Boffo, Bonny, Boss, Bully, Capital, Corking, Cracker Jack, Dandy, First Rate, Five Star, Gangbusters, Gilt-Edged, Grand, Groovy, Heavenly, Immense, Jim-Dandy, Keen, Lovely, Marvelous, Nifty, Out of Sight, Peachy Keen, Phat, Quality, Radical, Righteous, Slick, Splendid, Swell, Tip-Top, Top-Notch, Unsurpassed, Wizard

* I realize that most of these are more slang terms, than big words, but they made me laugh, so I had to include them.

OR, if you want to go a different route, try using one of these following big INSULT words, but adding a "Not" in front:
Abhorrent, Abominable, Disgusting, Dreadful, Execrable, Frumpish, Ghastly, Gorgonian, Grotesque, Haggish, Hideous, Homely, Loathsome, Lousy, Nasty, Nauseating, Offensive, Pathetic, Repellent, Repugnant, Repulsive, Vile, Wretched

Hope that helps!

And, please, add more big word compliments (or anti-insults) in the comments!

Everyone on the internet should do what you have done here.

I can't tell you how many ancient and even 'dead' pages Google directs me to.

Thank you.

Moods are complicated and very much a part of who we are. People would be very boring without them. See the link below for more info.
