Barbing out

When you don’t know when to stop talking and continue to make a situation more awkward/uncomfortable for yourself and all parties involved by rambling and having no filter

The guy was trying to ask her out on a date and she proceeded to “Barb out” until he walked away.

Someone go rescue her from that conversation. She’s “Barbing out” right now.

barbed compliment

a small compliment that is presented at the forefront of a hailstorm of insults

Example of a barbed compliment:
"You're a very smart person, but you're so lazy that you can never get any work done. The only thing you're actually good at is being nice to people, and even that is a lie, because of how selfish and self-centered you are. You're honestly just a burden to everyone who knows you."
