Named after a very friendly sports coach. When someone gives you a compliment that is not intentionally creepy but seems to sound inappropriate or odd. If it is said by the wrong person (i.e. an older male/female in a authoritative position) the results can be horrendous.
In terms of a swimmer/diver
Jonpliment: "Hey, you looked good in the water today."
What they really mean: "You swam well today."
Sounds like: "You looked sexy today."
