(Sociology) what do you say when your wife/girlfriend says "
Well, any suggestions on what is the perfect reply when your wife/girlfriend says:-
"Does my bum look too big in this?"

If you are a good actor or really think it you can say "you look great in anything"....
If you want to be sincere but gentle you can say if it looks to big: "I like you in those other pants better, you know they are my favorite" or "I don't like those pants" (so you actually say it looks too big, but without saying it) or simply "maybe a little"...

It was the topic of conversation on 702 radio (Richard Glover ) this week and it seems most answers are fraught with danger.
eg
"I like the fuller figure."
and
"There is more of you to love."
While both good, political-man-type answers they are both likely to get your head stuck in a meat cleaver.
There is a summary of some of the answers in this programme ABC Sydney » Thank God it's Friday

Change the subject. Learn from the politicians and gently walk around the question.
Yes, possibly the best approach. One person on the radio suggested a sudden distraction like:-
"Look the baby's on fire HELP!"

I would just break into song with Sir Mixalot.
"Baby got back..."

None of us have a clue as to why Kim Kardashian is famous for anything other than being a friend of Paris and filthy rich, but we all thank God for her:
However saying something like "well, its smaller than Kim Kardashian's" will still get you an iron skillet to the head or no sex for a week....
The correct response is to drop your jaw, widen your eyes and say "you look *amazing* in that!"

Ya could always say:
"Great enough as it is, just can't wait ta seeya doin' the belly dance!"
But, Buffy Dear that Kim Kardashian's bum isn't big at all!
In profile it isn't too flat, but I can tell from the picture she lacks a bit of curve as seen from the other direction...

Astronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science. Read » | 0 comments
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The result is an autonomous helicopter than can perform a complete airshow of complex tricks on its own. Read » | 0 comments
