“Bless his/her heart” is a real sweet way of putting down someone because it truly means the opposite (ie, he/she is an idiot)-

used by GRITS (girls raised in the south)- but it has spread beyond regional use

I believe almost all women “get it” that “Bless His Heart” means “He is an idiot and we are smiling as we insult him"
