TT poll: We all know "I like your hair" and "Your hairstyle is cute" are compliments. But how about "Your hairstyle is unique"? I say no.

I'm not saying it means they don't like it; I'm saying those words, in and of themselves, do not make a compliment.

I think the choice of words might also reveal an underlying subtext that says "Man, I wish I had the courage to do that." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:21
"It's really . . . something." -- nm - pmb Apr 8, 10:18
It's a nicer way of saying "ugh." -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 10:17
Depends on the ear of the beholder. It is if that's what the recipient was going for. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:17
YOUR style IS unique. -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 10:17
