One example of litotes in Eragon is when the character Brom says "It's not the worst idea I've ever heard." This phrase actually means that the idea is good. Another example is when Eragon says "The food wasn't bad." This implies that the food was actually good.

No. An understatement is litotes, a statement which minimizes what it is talking about. "The United States has some debt problems" is an understatement because the United States has a huge debt problem. "Robert Wadlow was a bit taller than the average" is an understatement because he was the tallest man ever.
An incomplete expression is one which is not finished. "Oh, for--! Give me that!" includes an incomplete expression.

No, the phrase "never a dull moment" is not an example of a litote. A litote typically involves understatement by negating the opposite of what is meant, such as saying "not bad" to mean good. "Never a dull moment" is more of an idiomatic expression indicating that things are always exciting or interesting.

The adjective multus, which means "much" in the singular and "many" in the plural, can be used to translate English "a lot of." Since a Latin adjective has to agree with the noun it modifies in number (singular or plural), gender (masculine, feminine or neuter) and case (nominative, vocative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative), multus will take different endings depending on how that noun is used in a sentence. For example, "A lot of people speak English" is Multi homines Anglice loquuntur.
The Romans were fond of litotes, which is to say expressing an idea by negating its opposite. This is not unknown in English (we say "not bad" to mean "pretty good"), but it was pervasive in classical Latin. Thus another way to express "a lot" in Latin is non pauci, which is literally "not a few" (the use of paucus in the singular is possible but very rare). Non pauci homines Anglice loquuntur.

His name is my name too!
[[User:Litotes|Litotes]]
*Laugh!*
"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" is a fictional character in a popular, repetetive children's song. The lyrics are of unknown origin, but for most young American children, the long, German-sounding name and the lyrics are funny, making it a popular tune for kids to sing at camp or on long rides together.
His name is my name too!
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout.
The last name is actually SchmidtThe most common German last name which translates to Smith.
The rhyme originated in the US and is mocking the much longer and often funny sounding northern European surnames.
The surname Schmidt and the surname suffix Heimer are of German origin.
The song is sung in infinite repetition with each repeat sung quieter than the last except for the last verse which is shouted.
Often referred to as the " bus song "

The isosceles triangle of least area that can be circumscribed about a circle of radius r turns out to be not just isosceles, but also equilateral. Each side has length 2r x ( 3 )0.5 . The area is r2 x (27)0.5 . Thanks are due to litotes for pointing out that the original answer did not actually answer the question ! tpm Since the equilateral triangle is also an isosceles triangle, we can say that at least area that can be circumscribed to a circle is the area of an equilateral triangle.
If we are talking only for isosceles triangle where base has different length than two congruent sides, we can say that at least area circumscribed to a circle with radius r, is the area of an isosceles triangle whose base angles are very close to 60 degrees. Solution: Let say that the isosceles triangle ABC is circumscribed to a circle with radius r, where BA = BC. We know that the center of the circle inscribed to a triangle is the point of the intersection of the three angle bisectors of the triangle. Let draw these angle bisectors, and denote with D the point where the bisector drawn from the vertex, B, of the triangle, intersects the base AC. Since the triangle is an isosceles triangle, then BD bisects the base and it is perpendicular to the base. So that AD = DC, OD = r, and the triangles ADB and AOD are right triangles (O is the center of the circle). In the triangle ADB, we have:
tan A = BD/AD, so that AD = BD/tan A In the triangle AOD, we have:
tan A/2 = OD/AD, so that AD = r/tan A/2, and AC = 2r/tan A/2 Therefore,
BD/tan A = r/tan A/2, and
BD = (r tan A)/tan A/2 Area of triangle ABC = (1/2)(AC)(BD) = (1/2)(2r/ tan A/2)[(r tan A)/tan A/2] = (r2 tan A)/tan2 A/2 After we try different acute angles measure, we see that the smallest area would be: If the angle A= 60⁰,
then the Area of the triangle ABC = r2 tan 60⁰/tan2 30⁰ ≈ 5.1961r2 If the angle A= 59.8⁰,
then the Area of the triangle ABC = (r2 tan 59.8⁰)/tan2 29.9⁰ ≈ 5.1962r2

Metaphor: something is compared to something else without using the words "like" or "as" to make it obvious it is a comparison. "There was a sea of people at the concert": here a crowd is compared to a sea.
Simile: something is compared to something else directly using words like "like" or "as". "He walked into the party like he was walking onto a yacht."
Personification: talking about something inanimate as if it were a person. "The car made a real effort to get up that hill in third gear."
Synechdoche: where you use part of something to represent the whole thing. "We could sure use a hand over here."
Metonymy: where you use something associated with something else to represent it. "Car number 3 took the checkered flag."
Oxymoron: two opposing concepts are jammed together "Two more hours of boring excitement followed."
Alliteration: repetition of consonant sounds especially at the start of words. "Bert Brydenhart bulked big in Painted Rock."
Zeugma: multiple objects of the same preposition which use the preposition in different senses. "She left in a rage and a taxi." "He hastened to put out the cat, the wine, his cigar and the lamps."

Gaius Valerius Catullus, most widely known as Catullus, wrote poems which particularly focused on love and lovers. This type of poetry is known as a 'carmen'. Much of his style and content was in emulation of Sappho, a Greek poet from before his lifetime. He also wrote in a couple of different meters, particularly hendecasyllabic and the elegiac couplet. However he, as part of the Neoterics (the Novi Poetae) in Rome, wrote epyllia, light epics, as well. Some of his later poetry took a more solemn tone, often in the form of condolences to friends and families who experienced the death of a loved one.
