When something is described as backhanded, it means that it is indirect, insincere, or sarcastic.

The term originated from the sport of tennis, where a backhanded shot is one that is hit with the back of the hand facing the opponent. This type of shot is often less powerful and less accurate than a forehand shot, hence the association with indirectness or insincerity.
