A: "tongue in cheek" is a very common expression. It means sarcasm, or that the person doesn't really mean what they are saying.

"With tongue in cheek, he said I was really good at sports." = He told me I was good at sports, but he was joking.

"tongue only partially in cheek" - this is not a common expression. The person who wrote or said this was referencing the phrase "tongue in cheek" and what they mean is "only partially sarcastic", or "partially meaning what they said".

So, if someone made a comment, "with tongue only partially in cheek", they sounded sarcastic, but they were actually a little bit serious about what they were saying. They were saying their actual opinion while sounding like they were joking.
