Old-timey expressions

Today, as I was saying bye to my girlfriend, I said, "See ya later, alligator." She took offense because she thought I was calling her ugly. FML

Next time go for something like "Goodbye, butterfly" or maybe something less cheesy :P

Your girlfriend has probably never heard that phrase before if she took offense from it. Tell her that you weren't trying to call her ugly and a lot of people say that to each other (Y'know because it rhymes).

I don't understand why that was a phrase you wanted to say to your girlfriend in the first place

Play her Bill Haley & His Comets - See You Later Alligator on youtube. It was originally recorded December 12, 1955. It was a popular saying for a decade or so thereafter. If she has a deep seated problem with her looks, it has been my experience that she is pretty, beautiful, gorgeous until your lips fall off... and she won't believe you. All you can do is love them as much as you can and make them feel good about themselves. If she continues to get upset over small things, then it may be time to move on.

She's always been a little sensitive about her tail.
