::::::::: (GIYF)   A backhanded compliment, also known as a left handed compliment or asteism, is an insult that is disguised as a compliment.   One common form is:   You know, for being such a fat person, you don't sweat much!!   (What every woman wants to hear, I'm sure.)   In some other words:   there were times when you were constructive, but not so much the other times. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
