If someone told you that you looked 'disgustingly well'

[molifly]

What does that actually mean? Someone said it to me today and I honestly didn't know how to take it. I thought it as an odd turn of phrase!

It’s an unpleasant turn of phrase.

Odd but I'd take it to mean you look so good they are jealous

It means very well. It is a compliment.

It sounds horrible but does it mean you look really well and they are envious?

This. It's a lighthearted compliment.

It's just an old fashioned saying I think. It's a compliment.

It is a compliment. Totally. Within that they are saying they feel a bit rough and wish they felt as glowing as you look. It is an odd turn of phrase, definitely. Nevertheless take the compliment and enjoy.

Agreed.

You look so amazing they are deeply envious.

It's quite an old fashioned term, but just means you look really good and it's a compliment!

Never said it myself but I would take it as you look so well it’s making them sick (with jealousy). It’s definitely positive and friendly.

Similar to something being ridiculously, unreasonably, insanely, shockingly, whatever good - alone it might not sound nice, but as a whole sentence it’s just boosting and emphasising the praise.

It's a compliment. I've been told I'm horrifically intelligent by a BF in the past.

I thought its because the other person is embarrassed about paying the compliment. Or as PPs said envious.

Its a compliment - like you look soooo well its sickening..but in a complimentary way not an offensive way. I would be delighted 😀

'Stunningly well' would sound nicer.

Reminds me of the term 'rude health'. But it's a great compliment.

As others have said it's a compliment.

Phrased in a light hearted way to imply the giver of the compliment is jealous of you looking so well.

I would probably only say it to someone I knew well enough to know they would understand!
