@VinsCool "Not bad" literally means that something *isn't* bad...

With the existence of other comments like "Great", by avoiding those and simply saying "Not bad", you're either saying it's average or not good. It isn't a decisive remark, and can mean many different things. If you want to take "not bad" literally, then that would make the remark a very poor and vague one at that.

Dude, saying "not bad" isn't saying "not good." What kind of double speaking fuckery is this?
Jiehfeng
Oh my bad, I worded that wrong. But you get the point.
hobbledehoy899
No, I don't. Saying that something *isn't* bad is a good thing to say about it.
Jiehfeng
RIP, cbf to explain.

If you *always* have to hear blatantly (over-)positive words just so you can feel good about yourself then there's something wrong in your life.
Jiehfeng
Wait what? Who ever said anything about describing myself or a person?
hobbledehoy899
You obviously take offense to the phrase "not bad" just because it contains the word "bad" even though the word "not" comes right before it.
Jiehfeng
No, you've misunderstood me. The reason I claimed it to be the worst remark to make is not because it contains the word "bad", I'm not as delusional as you think... I claimed it so because it's not at all a decisive comment to make about something. If you're going to judge and comment about something, it's stupid to say 'it's not bad', at least tell me what it is, not what it is not.
Jiehfeng
By saying something is "not bad", you're leaving the object with so many other possible judgements (it now could be great, good, average, dull, etc, just other than bad...).
hobbledehoy899
Just saying "not bad" and leaving it at is the same as just saying "good" and leaving it at that, those many other possible judgments (whether they'd be positive or negative is irrelevant right now) would be added in further comments.
