Compliments ought to be specific. The best ones don't just say what you like, they say why you like whatever it is that you like. If you compliment someone on a new dress, don't just say, "I like that dress." Instead, you could say, "I like that dress. The red and green gargoyles and the purple stripes bring out the yellow in your eyes." It's a much more specific compliment than "That's a pretty dress."
