We all have those literary elements that your face is like: 
The literary term of lilotes was the reason why my face used to reflect this expression. I find it kind of funny. You see, there is nothing hard about Litotes. Litotes is defined as a figure of speech in which affirmative is expressed by the negation of the opposite. So it's like you negate a LIE. There's nothing hard about it. A litotes is a form of irony because it uses understatements and its opposite to his almost twin, Hyperbole. When I took my Irony quiz, I got this question wrong. Really Jose?

- He is not the nicest guy I've met. 

Jose.
