'Never say never' is an example of a tautology, a concept which reverts meaning upon itself. If the injunction is to not say 'never', the thought is violated with the first 'never' of the phrase. The concept of word games and word play precedes written language itself. Some other tautologies include; "Don't ever take advice" (which itself is advice) "All generalizations are false" (which is itself a generalization) or the paired; "The statement below is true" "The statement above is false"
