not unlike

1) A comparative phrase meaning "possessing no great dissimilarity from, but not neccesarily possessing similarity to."

That subtle denotation escapes most, and it is most commonly used as:

2) a clumsy, noncomittal way of expressing simple similarity.
1) Well, yes, I guess it would be fair to say that Bush's appropriation of power for the executive is not unlike the administration of Hitler's Germany, but that misses the point.

2) He looks not unlike Elijah Wood.

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

Basically means "I'm not implying anything, I'm just making an observation". Which of course doesn't mean that the person *isn't* in fact saying, i.e. implying.
Mitt Romney sure made a 180 on national healthcare... I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Exclusively not dating

A term used to define the status of a relationship. Neither of the two partners are seeing anyone else, but the title boyfriend/girlfriend puts too much pressure or seriousness to a loosely dating couple. (It is an exclusive relationship and neither are currently looking for another partner--but you would both still be considered "single")

A less tactful term could be “fuck buddies” but sex is not a prerequisite, and emotions are involved.

It's meant to be vague and confusing, because the relationship gets complicated when the lines aren't clearly defined, and the couples status is more than friends, but less than a committed relationship since emotions start to get involved.
Example:
R: So are you two seeing each other, or what?
K: Well sortta, we’re exclusively not dating.

Can you not?

A short phrase utilized primarily by highly intelligent and sophisticated human beings, especially those with two X chromosomes. Unlike the also popular "Can you not...", this unique phrase ends immedietely after "not" and may be phrased both as a question and as a statement. The speaker should assume that whomever he/she is conversing with is completely aware of the misdemeanor.
Matthew has just provoked Jackie and she is mildly annoyed and amused (but mostly annoyed).

Not Cool Guy: I think they forgot to make it. Or maybe I forgot to order it. (smirks)
Cool Guy: (throwing down container of guacamole -- which he intends those in the room to now eat) NOT COOL!
