PASSAGE
From a memoir:
My grandmother had a talent for what she called "honest lying." If a neighbor's casserole was inedible, she would smile and say, "Well, that is certainly a dish." If my haircut was disastrous, she would nod slowly and pronounce it "very brave." She was famous, in her small town, for a kindness so sharp it could cut you if you listened too closely.
The phrase "honest lying" and the description "kindness so sharp it could cut you" both rely on which figure of speech?
