Double negative.........

[JD-Roo]

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.

"In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In many languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Ah the double negative. My favourite would have to be that handy stand by of the lout caught out committing a crime - "I swear I ain't done nuffin". These should be admissible in court as a full confession that can't be retracted. It'd either save a shit load of time and money or force scum to realise they need to be able to speak properly. Win-win.

I'm not an antidisestablishmentarian.

It's, a pity that those, at the Grade 3 English class, didn't, also learn about, commas.

Thank you, Brother, Robbo.

Not much I don't think.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

Irregardless, I ain't got no beef with nobody no more.

What do you think a double negative is?

Hint: it's more than one negative, but less than three.
