Did you know that a backhanded compliment isn't really a compliment at all?
I would hope that unless one is a small child that they would understand that.
It along, with many numerous things that annoy me, just makes my blood boil.
The good Book says turn the other cheek and I always try to but some days I just want to ask - are you really that ignorant? Did your mother teach you to not say anything at all if you couldn't say something nice. Then I remember that my momma did teach me that so I just shake my head and walk away.
Examples that I have heard in the last month or so - not necessarily to me.
You're doing a great job but if you had picked a better venue more people would have showed up.

I love your hair cut. But isn't that color a little young for you?
You're in great health but someone your age should be taking vitamins.
It looks great - I can't believe that YOU did that well.
If more people would think before they spoke life would be so much kinder.
