hi GG,
those are all good ones. I once got called "jolly" at a family reunion, while my sister was called "lovely." I absolutely positively DETEST being called "jolly." It brings to mind mental images of roly-poly doughboy creatures with red cheeks. After being called jolly, I wanted to cry. But I had to keep smiling and being "jolly" so as not to appear unfriendly....fun!Here are a few others that I sometimes wished I could say in certain situations, some of which include get-togethers. (but life is complicated, and it would cause too many issues, so they of course didn't get said!)
You certainly are a smug M***ther f*****, aren't you!
I can't imagine that you keep a lot of friends, am I right?
Your need to appear erudite and learned must surely be a paper-thin layer covering a seething mass of insecurity and flaws of all kinds
Don't worry, we don't think you're memorable, either.

Wow, it DOES feel better just to write it all down, even if I can't really say it! :) Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I feel like I just let off a bit of steam now.
