Negative Cue

The absence of something (some detail, signal, or anomaly) which highlights an answer to a problem or question.

Doctors used to believe all disease manifested as something foreign/outside the body attacking it. In the case of Scurvy, a lot of doctors got tunnel vision looking for a positive cue. (Some Germ or pathogen present that would explain the condition.) But none was to be found. It wasn't until biochemist Fredrick Gowland Hopkins considered what was absent (a lack of vitamin C) that the true cause of scurvy was discovered. This absence was a negative cue.

Negative 2

A negative 2 is secret word for a piece a shit when there's one in the room. The word comes from when someone asks are you taking a piss you say negative #2. It's only used to describe the real A-holes and scoundrels not as a joke amongst friend. It has nothing to do with race or nationality. Just an A-hole and a negative 2

Oh God!!! A negative 2 just walked in the party.
Jim: What are you doing dude taking a poop?
Vic: Nope but there's this negative 2 standing next to me that won't shut up
