I may need to say something that is (seemingly) nice about someone, but I’d prefer it be very subtly backhanded or nearly believable hyperbole.

What do you think the word “backhanded” means?
My backhand in tennis is much more powerful than my forehand, so it must mean “strong” or “powerful”, it only makes sense
I think they thought it meant “veiled compliments” and not “veiled insults.”
Which isn’t hard to confuse really.
