For some of our regular readers, you may recall ManCave putting an end to the shipment of Diapers and other items to his house by O-Canada. Apparently the word “NO” is not in the Canadian dictionary. After an exhausted research project, the crack staff here at LG Publications found what I believe definitions are any country or language.
By definition: No [Noh] adverb, adjective, noun, verb, Idiom
Adverb
- A negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request. [Really, what part of NO more diaper’s don’t you understand?]
- Used to emphasize or introduce a negative statement. [Not a single member of the LG want’s diapers dropped off that their home, no, not a one.]
- Not in any degree or manner; not at all. [No more diaper’s]
Adjective
- Used before a noun to convey the opposite of the noun’s meaning. [She’s no beginner when ordering diaper’s on-line.]

- A denial or refusal. [T-Mobile responded with a definite NO]
- A negative vote or voter. [The LG all say NO…UPS, Federal Express, DHL don’t stop here anymore!]
Verb (used with object)
- To reject, refuse approval, or express disapproval of. [Just don’t ask again!]
Verb (used without object)
- To express disapproval. [I think I’ve already said NO to diapers]
Idiom
- No can do (informal) [It cannot happen again…get it, got it, good]
The staff here at LG Publications, even went as far as to find the “Word Origin and History” of the word NO. Here are their findings…
NO “Negative reply”, dating back to the early 13th Century. Then explorer Marco “Bago” Polo (on left) an avid Falcon Hunter kept getting the word NO from tribal leaders when he tried to explain in his native language Italian he wanted to hunt there falcon’s (translated into something else…like it in the can) / As an adjective meaning from the 12th Century “not any” was reduced by literary scholar’s by dropping the final –t making it just plain ole simple NO. The word No-no was attested in 1492 when a female Stoll away on Christopher “Bago” Columbus (seen on the right below) ship “Santa Maria” was discovered by sailors aboard the ship hiding in the cargo bays trying smuggle goods to the new world.
