- trealira 3y ago"Damning with faint praise" is more like when you try to think of some good quality in someone but fail. Something like this: "What were your parents like when you were a child?" "They were fine; they even let us make friends with other children sometimes." Actually, I guess this really is a "damning with faint praise situation."
