Your lungs wish they could be cleaned up too, OP.

I hope you give up smoking before it kills you.

It's a compliment. It means that if you put a modicum of effort in, you can not look like poo poo.

It'd only be an insult if you gave a poo poo and tried to put effort in on a regular basis, but as you already admitted you don't give a poo poo if you look like poo poo.

Black Gold!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that phrase in real life, tbh. Only in ‘80s and ‘90s teen comedies where the “nerdy girl” takes off her glasses and lets her hair down to become an alluring goddess with perfect makeup.

I take it as a compliment but it basically means, "I was not aware you could look like you weren't homeless".

Could be worse, I guess. You could get all cleaned up and have them say "Well, that didn't help much, did it?"

it just means you look nice in a suit or a fancy dress or whatever, no need to interpret it in such a cynical way

Sandalwood is nice. I like it much better than wooden sandals.

I guess it's a compliment if you prize the ability to dandify yourself. But most people seem to and presume others do to, so I'm gonna say whoever said that to you wants to gently caress you.

One of the very first times I ever went out on a date (this was the late 1970s), the young woman I went out with had obviously worked very hard to make sure her makeup was perfect. She looked amazing. I attempted to tell her that I appreciated her efforts and how great she looked as a result. How did the compliment come out?

"With all that makeup on your face, it looks okay!"


Did you take her to see that new electric light that the all the rich people were getting?

You looked good enough that you surprised the person who complimented you. It's not an insult. It just means they're going to look at you a little differently now. They're wondering how they didn't realize all this time that you were handsome.

Are you sure they didn't say "You! Clean up well." whilst pointing at the local well that's been fouled by some goons', perhaps even your own, twisted escapades?

No... this is all wrong... this whole operation has just gone completely sidewaysface
I work/camp in the woods for 8 days and something like 90% of my coworkers only see me then. So its somewhat commonly said to/by all of us when we run into each other at a bar or something in town.

Its pretty much always a compliment.

everyone that has ever said that to me also expresses a very strong and vocal distaste for the fact that I prefer to wear my hair on the long side
