compliminsult
When someone gives you a compliment that can be mistaken for an insult or is intertwined with an insult. Usually, the person who gets the compliminsult will say thank you, but later will wonder if the compliminsult was meant meanly or nicely. Not to be confused with constructive criticism, in which the person wants to help the receiver improve him/herself.
