I am familiar with two meanings of "negative entropy" as per
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negentropy

(1) By Erwin Schroedinger:  "The negentropy of a living system is the
entropy that it exports to keep its own entropy low" -- which means
crapping out your own entropy into the surroundings maintaining your
own state of order at the expense of everyone around you :-)

(2) Information Theory (my field):  "In information theory and
statistics, negentropy is used as a measure of distance to normality."

In both cases applying "negentropy" to a person can be potentially insulting :-)
