      “What? I just said ‘awesome.’ That’s because I think it’s hilarious. Seriously, I can't wait to read it.”

      Strauss himself created "Stylemogging", a more subtle technique in which one uses barbed compliments to establish oneself as the supreme arbitrator of whatever is under discussion. "You've got better at that, a bit," is apparently a classic Stylemogging comment. At this level, it all starts to get a little scary.
