a superficial kind word that masks a more unpleasant aspect of the
compliment's subject matter. also "back-handed"..In this case, being
"smart" is the compliment, which masks being "ugly" in act & demeanor,
which completely outweighs the positive aspect of the compliment...
btw, it was a joke...I love reading the stuff you come up with....
