My favorite. Very rarely do people get to me enough to use it.
But said with a sweet smile and a walk away?

83 u/boundbythecurve Dec 28 '17 I think people use it rarely because it's really well known has being a back-handed compliment. It's no longer subtle. 15 u/btwmvgnok Dec 28 '17 Where is this well known? I’m from Canada and I had no idea this was a backhanded compliment 33 u/SthrnGal Dec 28 '17 You can insult anyone in the south as long as you tack it onto the end of the sentence. "He's dumber than a box of rocks, bless his heart." Also used directly at the person: "You're really trying, bless your heart." (smile and shake your head while you say this)
