Time for another snark fest! This time, we're imagining you're looking at clothes: Suits, gowns, shoes, whatever. You've been asked your opinion. You don't want to lie, but you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, either. (Well, maybe you secretly do, but it's your boss, so you'll have to be satisfied with a nice, passive-aggressive left-handed (or back-handed) compliment--something that sounds good, but is actually a jab. Do not reference a particular person ; just imagine an outfit that is so bad that you can't resist giving a snarky (but well-disguised) compliment. Get it out of your system! Everyone is welcome to play!
The rules of the game are thus: Write a left-handed compliment for an item of clothing--or a whole ensemble. Go after the feathers, the color, the length, the tie--whatever you want. Make it anonymous; make it subtle; make it witty; keep it clean.
Keep in mind that profanity is not acceptable. All entries must be in accordance with our Writing rules and guidelines.
