Flinsult
Flinsult: noun. A flattering insult. This is a common form of pleasantry exchanged in arguments with a mortal-enemy or a very good friend. The Oxford Dictionary of Conversational Etiquette states that "a flinsult can only be used when at least 3 other people are present in the room along with the speaker, it isn't snowing outside and no werewolves have been spotted in the last month." However these rules are often disobeyed, as can be seen from the case reported in Romania, where two werewolves threw flinsults at each other alone in a forest in the middle of winter. A statistician from the University of Botswana reported that a flinsult is the highest form of wit and anyone capable of using it must be an intellectual equal to at least Galileo.
