In English we sometimes say "You aren't too polite, are you?" or "He isn't too generous." This is a form of understatement, and it more or less means "You are are not polite" and "He really isn't generous."  I think I've heard Russians say something like this. Is it possible to say this in Russian (with the same meaning): 

Ты не слишком вежливый

Ты не слишком милая

Он не слишком шедрый
