embiggen Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 for example, I have a friend that I communicate with mostly through email. I can say something that is sincere but kind of in a jokingly matter, where they may or may not take it as a compliment. like I'll say, just a random example, 'I like nasty, hairy-faced rock star types, like you,' which is meant as a compliment. then they would say something like, 'Nice,' which could mean, 'that's nice that you think that,' or 'nice one asshole.' anyone else have this problem? please discuss.

owl Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 One late night, after drinking at the local watering hole, I went to the gas station and bought some Fun Dip. When the guy asked me "Anything else," I replied, "Just this Fun Dip." Then, he looked at me funny. Note: This conversation did not take place via email. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I can only assume that "not in love with [my] tone" actually means "I would love to buy you lots of beer and a lap dance." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 One late night, after drinking at the local watering hole, I went to the gas station and bought some Fun Dip. When the guy asked me "Anything else," I replied, "Just this Fun Dip." Then, he looked at me funny. Note: This conversation did not take place via email.
