DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

Bloggranddaughter Rave of Quid Nunc is toying with the idea of "extreme honesty":

"What I am talking about is if you look like crap and ask me what I think of your outfit, I'm going to tell you I think you look like crap."

As a married man, I know that questions like these are actually just poorly-phrased requests for self-esteem boosting, and grading of physical appearance is not the intent of the questioner.

I answer the question the person wants to know the answer to ("how much do you love me?" - "lots"), and avoid taking things literally when it's not called for.

Unless I'm feeling grumpy or trying to be funny ;-)
