00:21when remarking on colleagues outfits yes so you're at work and you want to compliment something

00:26someone is wearing you kind of have to be careful because you don't know how somebody might take

00:31that like like you can't say man your turd cutter looks great in that probably not a good idea hr

00:36would frown on that but she suggests using the word snazzy i've used snazzy when remarking on your

00:44colleagues outfits so dumb and he said he could see my snazzy or as she explains use language like

00:51your great aunt would use yeah what about uh sharp a sharp would be good is pretty neutral okay it's

00:58not sexual intention it just means that you look good today yeah but you're you're you're excluding

01:03the blunt oh yeah yeah well anyhow she said that uh she writes snazzy shirt work friend hey those are

01:11some snazzy earrings you've got you know what who said that's because i hate her it sounds like a dig

01:16it actually sounds like you're making fun of what i'm wearing it just sounds very old well that's

01:20the point it sounds antiquated but it sounds stupid she says see how you sound like someone's great

01:25aunt perfect you're not limited to using the word snazzy but great great aunt language is a good rule

01:31to go by as it's cheerful positive and inherently inoffensive uh twitter user michael davenport also

01:38chimed in with some good advice he writes i like complimenting um matches example neat your headband

01:45matches your earrings why can't you just say i like your outfit i like your headband they're just

01:49giving you another option it is it's a slippery slope sometimes i like your head but that's not

01:54slippery what if you say if you want to get more specific than i like that right you want to say

01:59that looks and then use some kind of an adjective i know i'm just saying like for me if somebody were

02:03to compliment me if they said snazzy i'd probably punch them no i'm just kidding but if somebody just

02:09said i like your pants okay thank you like uh i passed somebody in the hall today who uh yesterday i
