comment Fun with synonyms - “flattery"
Not necessarily. From a dictionary I have: flatter (v) - to say nice things to someone in order to make them feel attractive or important; sometimes in a way that is not sincere.

comment How do you respond to thanks given?
@sawa - [[In English, you acknowledge that you did a good thing. In Japanese, you have to deny it]] - good point; I wish I could +1 your comment again. @Dave - I would say that "no problem" is a cliche, not an idiom since it can/often-does take the literal meaning of the words; but I see what you meant.
