French compliment
A compliment said reluctantly through gritted teeth. Used by people when they wish to appear as if they genuinely care but secretly have zero interest in the subject. A favoured technique of narcissists to improve their image or hide their short comings at the expense of others.
French compliments can be distinguished from a standard back handed compliment by the use of a false sense of suprise (see example below)
A French compliment often ends in the person giving the compliment obtaining something they did not earn or merit.
