I dislike most phrases that use negatives to portray a positive and vice-versa. Why not just say that something is what it is and not mask it behind what it is not?
Things like saying "The party couldn't have been better!" while in a sarcastic tone it is humorous but while spoken sincerely it is sort of annoying. Because in all likely-hood the party in question could have been better. If not then why not just say "That was a perfect party!" but even I fall victim to this annoyance at times, unfortunately.
