Your Definition
The opposite of sugar coating but equally indirect and insincere. Contrary to popular belief, you can get your point across best by not being an asshole but not being too nice either. Salt coating doesn't make a statement any more true despite claims that it is a sign of honesty. Salt coating when criticizing someone often leaves them focused on the toxic garbage words instead of the main point unless they have a strong bullshit filter. Also known as destructive criticism.
