your english is considerably better than my german. You can express yourself in german and then we will google a translation.

Mijn Nederlands is niet zo goed, en ook hier niet zo nuttig. Ik ken geen German. :frowning:

From google

“
I love that expression, “danke für die Blumen”, the literal translation is “thank you for the flowers” but it is more something like “thank you for the compliments” .

What I love about it is that it is more used with a bit of irony, like when someone gives you a back handed compliment or tells you something bad about you.

I love the irony twists because german idioms are usually very rigid.
“

Yes - sorry to say probably translates well into English here.

Normaly it is used without irony, especialy on internet i wouldnt use it with irony, because if you do so in a face to face discussion, you change the sound of yure voice.
