Say it ain't so, Joe

[Geggy]

Can anyone tell me what does it mean when some people say "I ain't got no job." If the person does not have no job, does this mean they do have a job? Does no times two in one statement means they do have a job? What about "I didn't do nothing"? Did the person really do something when they say they didn't do nothing?

like for example,
'hey i don't do nothing.'
'oh, yeah? what do you do?'
'I ain't working at no IBM corporation.'
'Wow, IBM, huh? well, cheers.'

"I ain't got no job."

Simple double negative. Stated differently this statement would read "I am not unemployed" which would mean; therefore, that they are employed. In other words, logically, this sentence means "I got a job" because the two negatives cancel each other out.

Ah, the english. I hate it with a passion. So much grammer and such that no one can really speak proper english. If you have a little punk that annoys you with his bad english and you dont know what the hell he's saying, then go to http://www.urbandictionary.com/

It works!

Double negatives is not something I didn't not misunderstand, so don't not be fucking crybaby about what it isn't, alright? >:
