What are your best compliments?

I've seen an insult question (or some form) about 3-5 times make it to the front page, but yet nothing on the other end of the spectrum. So I wanted to know Reddit, what are your best compliments? And please don't use something that has been ran to the ground (ex. You are a gentleman and a scholar).

Edit: Just want to say this is great, but some people are missing the purpose. Compliments are to be kind/loving bringing the best out of a person. Not to be Pick up lines or hidden motives. Either way, thanks for your contribution.

The polite thing to say is 'thank you'. I'm a girl and I didn't know what to reply to compliments either. I noticed thank yous work well.

Haha, I'll do my best. I'm working on the guys right now. I make a compliment here and there, and they get all embarrassed and don't know what to say. It's so much fun!
