not bad

Fully legit. The real thing. A tasty meal is never just good, it's not bad, or not bad at all. Can always be said as 'ain't bad.'

I'll tell you what, this meal, it's not bad. It's not bad at all. Mmmm.

it's not you, it's me

A great excuse for breaking up with someone while trying not to hurt their feelings.
Famously used by George in Seinfeld, he gets upset when he found out someone used his line and claims he invented it.

"Dan I really like you but I think it's over between us."
"What? Why? What did I do?"
"It's not you, it's me."
