A FINE LEFT-HANDED COMPLIMENT

Want a good, all-purpose insult left-handed compliment?

This one’s a bit musty - it’s from the writings of one Nicholas Poussin, a seventeenth-century Frenchman, here describing a “ridiculous book” by one M. Scarron. But it’s a good one...

“Il fait des merveilles, car il a le cul rond et fait des étrons carrés.”

Which is to say:

“He’s a miracle worker: has a round ass and shits square turds.”

Boo-yah!
