We’ve compiled the best ones from the group, showing that comment sections aren’t always filled with toxicity. They may also inspire you to be more creative the next time you give someone a verbal pat on the back.

    While this list is about rare compliments, how they were delivered draws more attention here. The unique blend of wit and humor made these comments worthy of a screenshot and share. 

    Journalist and Harvard University lecturer James Geary published a book in 2018 titled Wit’s End: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It. In it, he mentioned that wit essentially establishes a common ground between entirely different ideas.

    Careful with that 'Karen' insult. Karens in the UK are almost all over 60 and working/lower middle class. They are not women with power. You're jeering at their age, their class and their powerlessness? Perhaps you think 'Paddy' jokes are funny too.

    A "Karen" is not an age or a haircut, it's an attitude. Entitled and bigoted with an overinflated ego and a tendency to "cry wolf" to the police or other authority figures makes you a "Karen", not your age or your style choices.

    Using the name Karen to designate a unpleasant person is just wrong. Would you use it this way in front of a friend or relative with that name? What if it were your name that were used this way? One day, perfectly good name, the next clueless folks all over using it like this.

    9 months ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    The usage references more than unpleasantness. It's entitlement and deceitfulness used to get their way. It's more than complaining. It's about demanding more for their inflated sense of self worth, the belief that the rules don't apply to them and that they are in a better class above the "unwashed masses." We could use a far better word to describe this person, I agree. My name (real name, not Sophia) has always been associated with "dumb" blondes and cheer leaders. Maybe it bothers me less than the use of "Karen" because I was born into a place and time that already did this with my name, so I've always been shrugging it off for 40 yrs whereas "Karen" has not been used that long. I had to get used to dumb blonde comments fast. I had platinum blonde hair from birth to about puberty and it turned a honey color. The honey color didn't stop the jokes but I was already having to shrug it off. So yeah, there might be a big difference because of its more sudden usage.

    Look, as much as I hate Trump (and I reeeaaaly hate Trump), he had nothing to do with Tate getting back to the US. Tate is one of the few people both the left and all but the most extreme on the right agree on: he is scum and we don't want him back. Heck, Ron DeSantis, Mini-Trump and governor of Florida, ordered the state bureau of investigation to immediately begin investigating Tate to see if they can find anything on him here in the US. Shouldn't be hard to do since he admits to all his crimes on video.

    One point Geary made is that wit and humor don’t necessarily have to go hand in hand. In a 2019 talk at the Chautaqua Institution, he explained that the slight difference is that the former requires more mental exercise. 

    “Like juggling, wit is keeping a lot of different ideas, a lot of balls, in the air at the same time,” he said, emphasizing that wittiness is about “finding novel combinations about things.”

    Actually, that would be a case of well-meant not really meaning well-done. At least in my country, the stress --for kids like elementary school age-- is that you don't get into anybody's car unless your parents allowed you to. Like, it's not "strangers are dangerous so don't talk to them". On the other hands, if there are several kids, the risk is lower of course.
