smooth move
Sarcastic klutz comment
Smooth move is usually sarcastic, calling attention to a clumsy mistake or social blunder: Smooth move, you just locked us out of the car.
The phrase mocks the failure by pretending it was skillful.
Less commonly, it can genuinely praise a clever or suave action: That was a smooth move, asking for her number like that.
