There is only one person in your life that you drunkenly confess your love to practically every single time you go out and have a few too many: your best friend. You will tell everybody and their mother how much you love them and how beautiful they are and then you will begin to cry over your undying love for them. Or maybe that is just me? (That's not just me, right?)
Leslie Knope's love for Ann Perkins is like the love you have for your best friend on steroids. It is time for us all to start channeling our inner Leslie Knope and bring rise to the amazing terms of endearment she blessed our lives with during the seasons of "Parks and Recreation." I'm sick of hearing BFF or bae; it's time to start making "beautiful tropical fish" and "poetic noble land mermaid" the norm here. And let's be honest, if your friend can appreciate and accept these compliments the same way Ann does, then you got yourself a BFF keeper.
1. "You beautiful, naive, sophisticated new-born baby."
Where one person might say, "innocent," Knope says this. I dig it.
2. "You are a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox."
When in doubt pick a weird, unlikely animal and compare your best friend to it, because why not?
3. "You poetic and noble land mermaid."
You are lying if you say that you wouldn't want someone to call you this.
4. "You beautiful, rule-breaking moth."
Another example that comparing your best friend to a random animal can turn into quite the term of endearment.
5. "You beautiful spinster."
So pretty much just include the word "beautiful" in your compliment and it will be up to Leslie Knope standards.
6. "You are the most beautiful, glowing sun goddess ever."
Who wouldn't want to be called a sun goddess? No one. That's who.
7. "You cunning, pliable, chestnut-haired sun fish."
You could still use this even if your best friend doesn't have brown hair because I'm pretty sure at this point they won't be paying enough attention to specifics.
8. "Your ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot."
Finding weird ways to compliment your best friend's heritage is what friendship is all about -- am I right?
9. "You perfect sunflower."
The cutest.
10. "You're so brilliant and kind and stupid hot."
This needs to be said to everyone -- always, every day.
Leslie's love for Ann is what we all truly feel for our perfect best friends deep down, so it's time to start asking ourselves WWLKS? (What would Leslie Knope say?)
Thank you for reading you beautiful, majestic sea turtle.
