Trying to give a compliment but framing it with a comment that is borderline rude- not because you want to be mean, but rather because you are just socially awkward.
similar to a backhanded compliment but is not said with the intention of hurting the other person.
"A: your son is more handsome than I expected
B: wow I can't believe you just said that. that was really samatarded. "
Somone who is smart yet retarded in a sense. Particularly, a person who is smatarded is only smart when intelligence is being called upon. Otherwise mainly random, stupid, mentally handicapped, dumbfounded, and ADD. Most of the time, unintelligent people cannot see through this type of person and assume that they really are just completely stupid, but on the inside the smatarded person is laughing at them because they are the lesser.
Joe: Bro, I need help on my Pre-calculus... but nobody 'cept Shmoe is around.. and he's just stupid!
