An intentional response which breaks down a more technical word into a simpler word (layman's terms) in an obvious attempt to be humorous while using the prefix "I don't know about that, but _______."
Can also be unintentionally used by simple people with very, small vocabularies.

The concept of being against all things. It is commonly accepted to be the first word which is made up only a prefix and suffix, no actual word.
Thomas: Hey let's go to a movie
Emanuel: Hell no i am firmly against movies.
Thomas: Well then lets go get some food.
Emanuel: Hell no i am firmly against food and getting it.
Thomas: What are you not against?
Emanuel: I am a nonist, meaning i believe in nonism, so i am against everything.
Thomas: Doesn't believing in nonism go against the entire concept and, if you are agaist everything, how is it possible for you to be alive right now?
Emanuel: WHA!*boom*
(head explodes)

this small sketch shows that it is ultimatley an impossibility for one to be a true nonist and that the word can only really be used to describe one who is against MOST things.
