Talk:not uncommon

RFD discussion: October–November 2023
Bullshit definition is "having an abundance situated between common and uncommon.". This entry is not undeletable P. Sovjunk (talk) 13:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I would delete, since you can do this with all kinds of words (e.g. "not improbable", or Tom Jones' "not unusual to be loved"). Is it a litotes? Our definition says litotes is "ironic", so perhaps that's not quite the right term. Equinox ◑ 13:14, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * A quasi-double-negative?P. Sovjunk (talk) 13:16, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure "ironic" should be part of the definition. A litotes can be used ironically, but it doesn't have too, imo. PUC – 14:31, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per Equinox. A not unridiculous entry. PUC – 13:19, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, SOP. Compare not that uncommon, not at all uncommon and the even more litotetic hardly uncommon. --Lambiam 16:31, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
