FACTS CONSIDERED

The person asking walked past another grown man and directly called him “cute.”

RULING

This is a violation. In the Court's buddy context, “cute” is outside the approved compliment list. The Code allows words such as sharp, solid, clean, strong, or good-looking. No listed exception applies.

REMEDY

Use an approved compliment next time. A simple “Looking sharp” will restore order.
