An insult used in positive context. Males usually being on the receiving end, and although the insult is used positively, often ends up being more degrading than a normal insult would be. Also used to devoid harshness from an insult. Men, don't be deceived; she doesn't actually like it that much.

A signal of mutual attraction, directed to a man by a woman, as she turns away and very subtly angles her hips and derriere.
Knowing his eyes were on her, she turned to give him a fleeting but unmistakable backsided compliment.

A backdoor compliment is a way of giving somebody a compliment, which can be misread as an insult.
Poppy: I'm whiny as hell, no fun at all.
Dave: I think you are. Fun that is, not whiny - maybe a little, in a nice way.
Poppy: Hey!!! Only I'm allowed to call myself whiny
Dave: Yeah but I said 'in a nice way' so it was a compliment
Poppy: Backdoor compliment!

When somebody gives a compliment, then says something derogatory about you, they gave you an Indian compliment. A person who gives an Indian compliment is an Indian compliment giver. Like telling somebody they're attractive then telling them they're narcissistic.
Its just as good not to give any compliment at all than to give an Indian compliment. Both ways are about as refreshing as a leaky garden hose with a sprinkler at the end of it on a hot summer day.
