Litote

What is Litote?

1.

Understatement. When you say something (usually satirically) by saying the opposite of what you really mean. Like "That's not good." When you mean "Holy crap, that sucks! What are we going to do!?"

I didn't want to offend the teacher, so I used litote to tell her how much her class sucks.
