Example of smidgen
When people say ” he/she hasn’t changed a smidgen” should that be a compliment?
It depends on the tone of voice, to be honest.
If said fondly, then you can guarantee that it’s a compliment, to imply that the said person still has the same good, aspiring qualities that they have had before.
If said negatively, then it probably means that they’re trying to say the opposite. They’re saying that the said person still has the same bad qualities that they have had before.
