In the opposite direction, when I moved to England it took me a while to get used to compliment "inflation" over there.

For example when somebody's opinion on something is:

"interesting", it means it's shit
"ok", means it's bad or mediocre
"good" and "great", means it's average
"wonderful" and "amazing", means it's good

I once asked one of the natives how did they transmit the message that they trully believes something was a 10/10 and was explained that's done by going into details on how something is so great.

Meanwhile Germany:

"interesting" means it's shit
"it goes" means it's bad or mediocre
"ok" means it's average
"can't complain" means it's fairly good
"very good" means it's great
"really not bad" means surprisingly great
