true negative

Negative or critical information that gives the viewer a complete map of their respective context but does not give them a sense of direction.

In Kantian ethics a true negative is functionally equivalent to a false positive.

A true negative is a map without directions. A false positive is directions without a map.

Double Negative Gay Theorem

When a woman is trans to a man and likes men, she is still straight, creating a vortex, leaving us with the double negative gay theorem

She's a man? She likes guys?

That's the double negative gay theorem!

Schrodinger’s Negative

A negative contraction added to a statement retroactively depending on the public opinion of that statement. Disregard all contextual statements surrounding the statement.

“I don’t see why it would be Russia.” To Schrodinger’s Negative: “I don’t see why it wouldn’t be Russia.”

Montclair, NJ MHS Negative Black Community

A group of dark skinned brats who dress the same, act the same and are predictable to the point where you could pretty much plot their next move out in a game of chess. They can also be found smoking or drinking excessively. They have the emotional strength of a copper wire and would probably steal copper wires from home depot because they are shiny. They also like to brag about how they live in the hood and are willing to stab or shoot you with a wood chip they pick up off the ground. Not to mention their obsession with using the words "Who you think you talkin' to!?" They are a shame to the African community, they are selfish, rude and aggressive and the thing they will put on the bottom of their list is working or anything productive. The sad thing is they seem to be copying every bit of this from T.V. Is this what Martin Luther King got all those ass-whooppin's for !??!?!?

Chris Rock was right I love black people but I cannot stand Niggas! Or, the Montclair, NJ MHS Negative Black Community.

positive or negative

Two extremes which help classify each person, place, thing.

They met Saturday. The man complimented her beautiful face telling her her features were those of classic greek or italian women. She thanked each time he found a different way to say that and did everything within her power to create the most positive first impression by speaking perfectly and looking at him lovingly, which he also complimented her on. When by coincidence her mother, father, and brother entered the supermarket, they saw her talking with the man at a table in the eating area and said hello to the girl but did not approach them. Seeing how unattractive the members of her family initially looked to him turned him off, but over the weekend he fell in love with her, and Monday he realized that he considered external appearances unimportant, and that—thinking twice—the members of the girls family were also unpretentious. So, in time he got to know them and like them. Seeing they were poor, a few weeks later, he invited them to be partners in a new childcare business.

Though most people generally agree on what is positive and what is negative, one individual may interpret a thing to be positive, and a different individual may interpret it to be negative. Do you consider that chain of events to be positive or negative?

Triple-negative breast cancer

TNBC refers to any breast cancer that does not express the genes for the 3 most common breast cancers, namely, Estero gen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2/neu. TNBC is more difficult to treat because most hormone therapies target one of the 3 receptors.

Triple-negative here hs a medical meaning. Triple-negative here does not mean an added negative to a double-negative.

Triple-negative breast cancer has a relapse pattern that is different from hormone-positive breast cancers.
