| Stealth Insult | comment |
Character A is in no position to insult Character B... but does so anyway in a way designed to slip under Character B's radar. Alternatively, Character A may think of Character B as stupid, and so makes the insult relatively subtle so that Character B won't get it and will end up looking like a fool. A favored tactic of the Deadpan Snarker, especially the Servile Snarker. Differs from Insult Backfire in that a Stealth Insult is intended to be misinterpreted by its target; indeed, it may sound like a compliment at first (which is why some call it a Backhanded Compliment). Stealth Compliments, the inverted version of this trope where a compliment is purposefully hidden in an insult, is a favored tactic of Tsunderes and Tough Love proponents. Sometimes rendered in writing via an acrostic, a text in which the first letters of each line or word collectively form their own message. See also Overly Narrow Superlative and My Friends... and Zoidberg, which are often specific forms of this. With Due Respect is also sometimes used as this. A frequent technique in Passive-Aggressive Kombat, and sometimes a clever way to deliver a Quiet Cry for Help to third parties who are clever or informed enough to recognize the implications. May overlap with Teasing from Behind the Language Barrier when character A uses a language unknown to character B. When an author or other creative type does this, it may result in a Misaimed Fandom. Compare Backhanded Apology, False Reassurance, Two-Faced Aside, and Parenthetical Swearing. |

The new superhero Vorpika refers to Papillon as "Papillon der grillo coi fiori'n mano", that in Rome's dialect translates as "Papillon of the cricket with flowers in the hand". She's paraphrasing a movie quote that is well known in Italy and extremely vulgar, enough the author refuses to complete it to protect the story's ratingnote The quote is "Il Marchese del Grillo, coi fiori in mano e il cazzo a spillo", translating as "The Marquis of the Cricket, with flowers in his hands and a pin-shaped dick". | |

"Cool story, bro!" is this in meme form, and is often something you'll see in response to a post that was simply idiotic or obviously trying to stir up a conflict. Of course thanks to overuse it's about as stealthy as a monster truck and barely if ever goes over anyone's head, but the intent is there. | |

Older Than Feudalism | |
| Stealth Insult / int_33cd16fa | comment |
Older Than Feudalism: "Rex" (Latin for "king") was a huge insult according to the Romans, but many of the societies that they conquered (such as Judea) had much higher opinions of kings. For example, "Rex Iudaeorum" ("King of the Jews") was the biggest insult (by Roman standards) that Pontius Pilate could throw at Jesus in The Four Gospels, but the insult was lost on the native Jews. In fact, the chief priests' main objection to Jesus being given that label was that it was too big of a compliment to him. | |

While you'd be hard pressed to find insults in Monty Python's Flying Circus, the "Oscar Wilde Sketch" was comprised of Wilde and others lampooning the king, claiming it to be a quote of one of the others.

If Michael Harrington becomes the succeeding president, LBJ writes a seemingly cordial and congratulatory transition letter◊ - albeit, one that reeks of patronizing contempt for the most ardent leftist elected president so far and his lack of actual political experience, evidently not trusting him to properly lead America.

One for the Star Wars Expanded Universe: Mandalorians want to find the biggest, nastiest, most challenging thing the galaxy can throw at them so they can test themselves against it; so they ally themselves with the Sith to fight against the Republic and/or Jedi. It's basically a statement of "Compared to the Jedi, you're Not Worth Killing and only good for a paycheck". The Sith doesn't seem to mind it, however, as the Mandalorians are still killing Jedi and republic troops, so they're earning their pay as mercenaries. | |

Alternative Character Interpretation | |
| Stealth Insult / int_5e7163c9 | comment |
When the people of King's Landing prepare for a siege, Sansa Stark (who is being kept there as a guest/hostage) gets one on her hated fiance King Joffrey after he gloats about how he'll kill her older brother. In overly innocent tones, she asks him if he'll be on the front lines and not hiding from the fight because said brother leads the charge and Joffrey just boasted about being better than him. She then gives one to Tyrion, telling him that she'll be praying for his safe return from battle, "just as [she] prays for our king's". Alternatively, she could be referring to her brother Robb as "our king," making this a stealth insult against Joffrey, and a genuine well-wishing for Tyrion, who was one of the few to treat her decently. | |

Hamlet calls Polonius a "Fishmonger". When he was corrected, he responded with regret that Polonius was not so honorable a man.

Malack seemingly makes one so stealthy even the readers didn't notice, when he comments that "You don't spend time with a general of Tarquin's calibre without learning a few things about attrition", which under the circumstances taken as saying that he's a skilled general experienced at draining an enemy's resources with minimal losses. Later events and author comments suggest that what he actually meant is that Tarquin's military tactics are restricted to We Have Reserves and Zerg Rush, so every battle is won by attrition when he's in charge. | |

The various "What Your Favorite [x] Ship Says About You" videos by Eldena Doubleca5t tend to feature this. For instance, saying "you are heterosexual" usually means that the pairing offers nothing besides being a heterosexual ship in a fandom where those are rare (e.g. an abusive couple, or an instance of Strangled by the Red String). A particularly prominent one was that if you ship Shiro/Curtis in Voltron: Legendary Defender, "you are either executive producer Joaquin dos Santos or executive producer Lauren Montgomery"—the implication being that the ship in question is so underdeveloped and lackluster that only the show's creators enjoy it. | |

Hip-Hop | |
| Stealth Insult / int_a14dbc5f | comment |
The Hip-Hop genre is filled with these. Have a sharp ear and you'll hear a lot of subliminal disses, or maybe something that could get interpreted as a diss. Many believe that Raekwon (Of Wu-Tang Clan) had subliminal disses to The Notorious B.I.G.. Many believe that Jay-Z was dissing Tupac Shakur in the song Shiny Suite Theory. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony affiliate Maje$ty disses Crucial Conflict in the song Ready 4 War off of Bone's The Art of War album. 2% diss by Mc Lyte which was toward Roxanne Shante. One particularly controversial sublim is whether or not Eminem dissed Lil Wayne and Kanye West in "No Love", which, if he did it, would be remarkable for two reasons: First, that Eminem claimed on another track earlier on the album that dissing Wayne and Kanye would be pathetic; secondly, because Lil Wayne was the featured artist on "No Love". |

Nucky Thompson from Boardwalk Empire throws out a few of these early in the show which go right over the head of his partners because most gangsters are not nearly as well read as he is. For example, when one rather annoying gangster talks about changing his name, Nucky absentmindedly says "A rose by any other name..." When the gangster asks what that means, Nucky just gives him a cold look and tells him "Read a fucking book". | |

In the pulpy historical thriller/romance Subtle Blood, Kim's thoroughly unlikable older brother, when referred to as "the gentleman" by a police inspector investigating a murder he's the prime suspect for, shouts that he's an earl, not a bloody gentleman. (There is actually a difference, at least in the parlance of the British peerage, but only a truly stupid Jerkass would insist on it while suspected of murder.) The inspector very politely agrees that his lordship is indeed not a gentleman. | |

Calvin sometimes has some fun this way at Moe the bully's expense. Once he responds to Moe's demand for a quarter by telling him, "Your simian countenance suggests a heritage unusually rich in species diversity." As Moe stands there confused, Calvin hands over the quarter and says it was Worth It. | |

Hogan did this to Klink a lot. Klink once complained to Hogan about the prisoners blowing raspberries at him, so Hogan told him that it was a sign of respect. Later in the episode, Hogan led them in a cheer for Klink - which consisted of all the prisoners blowing a raspberry at the same time. | |
