Constructive Compliment

1: A suggestion that is delivered with encouragement.

2: An idea that does not truly exist and is an excuse for trying to politely state that someone could easily do better, or that they are awful at whatever the constructive compliment is aimed at.

3: Something one makes up in Home Economics because your group is crap at their cooking assignment and only you seem to know it, saying that they can do much better in a politer way than saying "Dude, are you really this bad? You can fucking do better."

See constructive criticism and compliment.

compliment sandwich

When an insult is softened by placing a compliment before and after.
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.
