not entirely unlike X
Used ironically of things which are in fact almost entirely unlike X, except
for one feature which the speaker clearly regards as insignificant. That is
not entirely unlike cool...at least it's small. Comes directly from the
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy scene in which the food synthesizer on the
starship Heart of Gold dispenses something almost, but not quite, entirely
unlike tea.
