For me, a compliment is anything 'good' or 'flattering' that is said about you.
I never feel the 'need' to give a compliment. I only compliment when I am impressed by something/someone enough that I want to tell the person about it. I don't go out of my way to compliment my girlfriend, but if I notice that I am admiring her (or a part of her) will usually say so.
Most compliments are ordinary and I don't think we really notice them. Like "nice car" or whatnot. Usually a thank you is the best way to handle those. Sometimes, for the more flattering ones, there really isn't much you can do except smile and say thank you. For sincere compliments that just don't seem right (like: "you have a very effecient nose" ) I just try not to respond in an offensive manner.
I can't think of any good compliments that I have given/recieved right now, but I will add them whenever they come to mind.
