A
lot of people are in the habit of saying "Imitation is the highest form
of flattery", but that's cattle feces. If imitation is the best way to
flatter someone then why are you not allowed to imitate people with
deformities and other handicaps? The definition of flattery is "to
flatter" and the definition of flatter is "to try to please by
complimentary remarks or attention." So the BEST way to flatter someone
would be through compliments.
What people don't realize is that
the English cleric Charles Caleb Colton was credited with saying
"Imitation is the sincerest (form) of flattery" and that phrase has been
perverted into "imitation is the highest/best form of flattery".
Colton's saying is more accurate because the compliments that people can
use to flatter someone do not have to be sincere or truthful.
Therefore, simply imitating someone may very well be the most sincere
way to compliment someone.
I'm here to correct both sayings to
create a better one to be used in the future and that is "Masturbation
is the sincerest and highest form of flattery." If someone's
masturbating to you that is the highest compliment that can be paid. I
don't know why women at the bus stop have an issue with this. I'm
FLATTERING THEM. Calm down! Put down your preconceived notions about
what's acceptable in society and think about the origin of the thought
that the masturbator is having. To them you are the world at that very
moment and nothing is more important not even the respect of state laws.
In the end, isn't that at the very heart of what love is?
