A Proper Engagement Congratulations

When your friends get engaged and you feel that the only appropriate way to say "congrats!" is to give groom and rough hand job (this is on the spot, so you don't have the proper lubrication handy) and a pack of camel lights because they're only likely to enjoy sex until they tie the knot and their lives devolve into a spiral of depression and dissatisfaction.
Hey man, congrats on proposing to your gf! Pull down your pants so I can give you a proper engagement congratulations. Here's a lighter!

Sneak self-congratulation compliment

When someone leaves what seems like a nice, innocent comment but is actually a sneaky way of congratulating themselves. Usually for something that doesn't deserve congratulations.
This comment left on a soundtrack that was used in the Umbrella Academy series:
Sneak self-congratulation compliment: "Thank you umbrella academy for reintroducing this to the next generation."

It seems like an innocent comment, but is actually a way for the commenter to congratulate themselves for knowing the soundtrack before it was in the series. The commenter also believes that they are better than the people who are just now discovering it, and that he/she should get a reward for knowing the song for a longer period of time.
