Being told you are clever lands differently from being told you look nice — it acknowledges something a person has actually done. This page collects compliments about intelligence and wit, ranked by reader votes. They suit colleagues, students, partners and friends who solve things quickly and rarely get credit for it. Some are straightforward, some are playful, and the best are specific enough that the other person knows you were actually paying attention rather than reaching for something to say.
