What is the best backhanded compliment?

Whilst attempting to eat a salad, picking at it really, when first visiting my future wife's family my mum-in-law said I was fussy. I replied as quick as a flash, "yes you're right. That's why I picked your daughter as my future wife."
 
I come from a golfing family. my daughter is 5th generation.
I was back in Scotland visiting family when my daughter got her first England cap.
Down at my dad's local one of his his old golfing friends was reflecting and saying that my daughters great grandfather [a local legend] would have been very proud of her.
He then started talking about golfing families and reflected that it was strange that sometimes the talent just skips a generation.
It took me a minute to see the twinkle in his eye.
 
Found a few holiday photos while clearing the garage, about 35 years old.
My wife was about 8 stone and absolutely stunning!
Went indoors and said " look at these holiday snaps ,I forgot how beautiful you were"
Just about dodged the missile she threw at my head as she shouted "Were!!"
 
If I was off 1 and club champion I would not care if my swing looked like an Octopus falling out of a tree.
Its a while now since I won it.

Mine was a backhanded compliment.


Say it to a chick, it is a great you don't mind going out in public looking like that



Although my favourite backhanded compliment...You are everything in a girl I never thought I wanted
