A compliment?

According to the course co-ordinator at my university I'm "academically incorrigible - in a winsome way"

And how much of an idea do I have as to whether it was a positive or negative comment?

Hmmm.... *goes off to find dictionary*

I've received a couple of "nompliments" in my time... Here's my theory. Add up the good words, subtract the bad words, and if your in surplus, you win!

Sooo...
Winsome. Good! +1
Academic (ally). I vote... Good! +1
Incorrigible. Could possibly be perceived, just a wee bit, as bad.... unless of course, you are sticking to your guns about some disputed theory. That just makes you tenacious. So probably -1, maybe not...

Add 'em up and we get a score of either +1 or +3!
It's a win!

Well done you :)

The best response I've heard yet to such a remark is 'got any forehanded compliments there?'

So... you ignore the rules, but gosh-darn you're adorable while you're doing it?

I'm trying to fit as many Biblical Studies subjects into my degree as I can. It is just possible I'm stretching some limits whilst so doing.... but in the nicest way possible...
