Talk:with compliments

with compliments
Defined as "euphemism for free". compliment/compliments had lacked the sense. No OneLook dictionary has this. It is not a set phrase, often accepting pre- and post-modifiers of "compliments" ("with our compliments", "with the compliments of Citibank"). It might have been worthy of a phrasebook if we had one.

 * Not convinced either way. Not convinced this is sum of parts, also not convinced it means "for free". I always thought it meant "with our good wishes" in which case it is SoP. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "Compliments of ___" definitely means free, doesn't it? Equinox ◑ 19:36, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think so.
 * I think there are would be some phrasebook entries using "compliments" that would be useful if only we had a phrasebook rationale. DCDuring TALK 20:40, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "With compliments" or "compliments of" means that it is free, being paid for by whomever ____ is. It still is paid for, but not by you. — lexicógrafa &#124; háblame — 20:52, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
