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.
Edit: I realized that I was imagining something like how the Colbert Report was done where it’s easy to believe I’m agreeing when really I’m spoofing.
“I don’t care what anyone says, I think you’re alright.”
this is one fits what I had in mind the closest
especially since alright can mean good or mediocre
You can add a bit of extra zing by using ‘everyone else’ instead of ‘anyone’.
