Get the Complimentmug. 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."

Get the backfronthanded complimentmug. That jerk Jason gave me a real compliment sandwich. He was like “I’m so happy we’re finally hanging out. You must be really comfortable around me to show up with your hair like that. Only a natural beauty could pull of that just-rolled-out-of-bed look.
