to put it mildly
understatement · saying something is less extreme than it is
What's the situation?
Imagine a meeting where things went really, really badly, but you want to avoid being overly dramatic. 🎭 This expression helps you convey the true severity of a situation without being blunt. It's like saying, 'What I just said is actually an understatement for how bad it truly was!' It adds a touch of subtle humor or polite emphasis. 😉
