The Margin: How to flatter just about anybody

Buttering somebody up is no piece of cake. It’s not a walk in the park, or a free ice cream cone either. When it comes to sucking up and winning somebody over, it takes real calculated honey-coating to be credible. Here are some examples of full-fledged flattery.

 

For the loud, annoying person in your life:

-You have the nicest lips. Mind closing your mouth for a while so we can admire them at rest?

For the red head in your life:

-Fire doesn’t even hold a flame to you.

For the leprechaun you met yesterday:

-Most people just want you for your pot of gold, but I see you for the tricky fairy you truly are. And your beautiful heart. Of, uhm, gold.

For the Easter bunny you will meet in a couple weeks:

-Santa Claus doesn’t have a thing on you. He may be part elf and work with a different species on one night of the year, but you can lay eggs. That’s some real cross-species dedication.

-Are you related to the Energizer bunny? Cause when I saw you my heart started going and going and going and going…

For your attractive garbage man, woman or person:

-You’re the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen hanging around my trashcans.

-Want to join me down in the dumps later?

For James Franco (you’re bound to run into him sometime):

-Your smile is so stunning that I almost thought that Oz was a good movie.

-I saw Spiderman 3 just for you, and I didn’t even ask for my money back.
