Even if one of them is at home against the Knicks? I believe. YOu can't get me down UGLI. No matter how hard you try.

Pau Gasol out with vertigo. We've got to come up with some creative diseases to get some dudes out of our lineup.

I'm gonna laugh so hard when the Bucks still finish worse than them.
context
Agreed, my main point is that context matters. So usage on this board is no biggie and calling someone a name is not warranted (for that matter, not sure it is ever warranted). Also, did not mean to demean burger flippers (I started life as a manure-shoveling farm boy and construction laborer), just making the point that acceptable word usage is a function of context. Peace, bro.

Concord
OneBrow speaks of negative concord, to which I refer you to the ultimate authority, Wikipedia. While I've seen a lot of sentences with double negatives (mostly those that cancel each other out), I cannot think of other words with double negatives that are used for emphasis. OneBrow, any examples come to mind?
----------------------
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative
In some languages, double negatives cancel one another and produce an affirmative sense; in other languages, doubled negatives intensify the negation. Languages where multiple negatives intensify each other are said to have negative concord. Portuguese, Persian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish are examples of negative-concord languages, while Latin and German do not have negative concord. Standard English lacks negative concord, but it was normal in Old English and Middle English, and some modern dialects do have it (e.g. African American Vernacular English and Cockney), although its usage in English is often stigmatized.
Languages without negative concord typically have negative polarity items that are used in place of additional negatives when another negating word already occurs. Examples are "ever", "anything" and "anyone" in the sentence "I haven't ever owed anything to anyone" (cf. "I haven't never owed nothing to no one" in negative-concord dialects of English, and "Nunca devi nada a ninguém" in Portuguese, lit. "Never have I owed nothing to no one"). Note that negative polarity can be triggered not only by direct negatives such as "not" or "never", but by words such as "doubt" or "hardly" ("I doubt he has ever owed anything to anyone" or "He has hardly ever owed anything to anyone").

Irregardless of what you think, it wasn't me.
Better than the examples you offered in your quote?
If it came up in casual conversation, who in here would really interpret 'I haven't never owed nothing to no one' as the speaker meaning that he did owe people something in the past, because there are four negative terms?
