Bravery is by far the kindest word for stupidity, don’t you think?
— Sherlock ‧ 2010
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Here bravery gets a sly demotion: the speaker suggests that what people praise as courage is often just foolishness with better public relations. It's a dry, sneering bit of wordplay, asking the listener to agree that "brave" is the polite label for a bad decision.
