What are words and sayings that are compliments to some people, but disparaging to others?

I just asked a Q about how using “articulate” or “well spoken” as a compliment can be offensive to some people.
It seems to me this is very different than words that are well accepted and known as derogatory to all groups, and so it’s more tricky to have sayings that are compliments to some people, but derogatory to others.
Can you think of other examples, or tell us about an instance where you said something that you thought was complimentary and it was taken completely incorrectly.
