It's a passive-aggressive thing. You wouldn't understand.

Get the Passive-aggressivemug. A special breed of passive-aggressive behavior that feels nice on the surface but is completely fake, emotionally empty, and served with a side of sarcasm. It’s the art of acting supportive, polite, or complimentary — but you know deep down they don’t mean a single word of it.
Think: Smiling shade. Pretty words, petty intentions. The emotional equivalent of a cardboard hug.
Examples:
“Oh wow, you wore that? So brave of you.”
“Thank you for your opinion. It's definitely... something.”
“Of course I’ll help. I love picking up other people’s slack!”

“Her compliment about my promotion was so hollow passive-aggressive, I almost thanked her before realizing it was pure shade.”

Get the Hollow Passive-Aggressivemug. Wearing a cosplay costume, at an inappropriate time/place, to tick off someone you dislike, instead of having a verbal confrontation with them. It works best when used on people who are too stupid to get your reference. Passive aggressive cosplay can be used as an effective form of non-verbal protest.

Get the Passive Aggressivemug. The intentional understanding of asking a question that truly doesn't need an answer from a person which you know is about to go ballistic. Quietly waiting to intercede with a "why you trippin'?." Knowing intentional gratitude of mischievous energy towards another.
