“Interesting”
Is one of those words that sounds unassuming but when you get right down to it, it isn’t nice at all. No matter what context it’s used in, the intent is never truly complimentary. For instance, I received this piece of feedback from an acquaintance on this blog the other day:
“Interesting blog you have by the way! Intense, to be sure, and very very funny. Topical, and things one thinks but doesn’t often say (or say enough). 
. I liked it!”
I’m going to now breakdown each sentence as interpreted by me, the author of punchingllamas.com:
First Sentence: “Interesting blog you have by the way!”
Translation: “In case you weren’t aware, everything you’ve written is literary trash.”
Second Sentence: “Intense, to be sure, and very very funny.”
Translation: “You’re a sick fuck and I almost threw up in my mouth.”
Third Sentence: “Topical, and things one thinks but doesn’t often say (or say enough).”
Translation: “Why in God’s name are you even talking about this kind of shit?!”
Fourth Sentence: “:).”
Translation: “I’m old and still believe emoticons make backhanded compliments seem more complimentary than backhanded.”
Fifth Sentence: “I liked it!”
Translation: “We’ll never be speaking again.”
The lesson here is simple, only trust the opinion of someone who is equally or more funny than you are. You may also take every opinion and tear it a new asshole. Whatever floats your boat.
YOU BETTER PRAY TO THE GOD OF SKINNY PUNKS
