No Means No!

We are taught (in rape prevention lectures) that No Means No!

speaking from my experience, I would agree with the statement that:

No sometimes Means No!

No sometimes also means Yes

No sometimes means Not Yet

No sometimes means Not Until The Kids Are Asleep

No sometimes means Pour Me Another Glass Of Wine And Put On Some Luther Vandross

No sometimes means Not Here - My Mother's In The Next Bedroom




i'm sure i'll think up some more - please feel free to add you own!

You should join the rest of us who has been putting him on ignore for this very reason since the staff blatantly refuses to take reasonable action.

I might. But he's also a valuable source of entertainment for me. I'm not certain I want to lose that

No began life as a command Thou shalt not or for you this is no. No you shall not eat of the tree..et cetera.


no can be used as an interjection to express surprise, doubt or incredulity.

no can be used to express disgust, impatience or strong disagreement.

To say that no is always used as a function word to express the negative of an alternative choice or possibility is to strip no of the expressions it is capable of fulfilling and conveying.

As is true of many words. We see proof of this all the time right here on TOL.
