A linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.”

A voice from the back of the room retorted, “Yeah, right.”

A negative followed by a positive is a negative.
Like 'No, thanks'.

But in India, it is a positive.
If you turn down a drink with 'no thanks', your host is obliged to insist.
