I sense a "but" coming

What you say when someone begins wholeheartedly and enthusiastically agreeing with your point of view, but you would have thought that this particular person would not truly be willing to go along with your idea, and so you suspect that he is merely trying to put you in a better mood and is thus building up to saying, "But in spite of my sympathy for your position/situation, I still feel that..."
You: I feel that Klondike bars are the greatest thing since sliced bologna, so I think that every child should be allowed to eat at least one per day..
Parent: Oh, I agree with you --- they are super-delicious, fairly inexpensive, and an all-around ---
You: I sense a "but" coming here.

Good for A but bad for B

The expression which debunks saying that something is "fortunate" or "unfortunate", because they do not specify who benefits or looses as a consequence of an event or outcome.
"Fortunate" and "unfortunate" are now debunked and archaic words. They are being replaced by "good for but bad for".

Because saying that a thing is " fortunate " or " unfortunate " does not specify who benefits and who looses. Thus, it's best to, for example, say, " It's good for A but bad for B that ____________________ ( a specific thing happenend ) " .
