no

  • noun A binary unit of measurement of desirable things, meaning 'not enough'; it doesn't mean 'none at all'. If, for example, you claimed to have no wafers, then you might actually be carrying several - it's just that those you have are pretty well useless as far as you're concerned. You could really have none at all, of course, but not necessarily so. The opposite state to no is stacks.
