Man 1: "Oh, what a joy. By the way, the sound...is great."
Man 2: "Good, that's good to hear."
Man 3: "Thank you for that measured compliment."

Indirect compliment 

When some jackass is too afraid to say how they feel about somebody,so they use urban dictionary to do it without anyone knowing they said it.
An example of an indirect compliment would be:

Steve
The sweetest guy you will ever meet who is full of love and blah blah blah lots of random biased feelings about their imaginary boyfriend.

Seriously, if you right something like this on urban dictionary, then you are sad and pathetic.
