Like &quot;I never tell the truth.&quot;http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoComment/gvvkq/post.htm#522179Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:29:00 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522179Anonymous2http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoComment/gvvkq/post.htm#522179http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-522179.xmli was in reply to a friend as a joke sarcastic comment. Nothing offensive, just to use the phrase as intended by the press. I thought there would be a term to describe this type of event where the phrase itself negated the meaning of what you said. (so hard to explain what i mean!)http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoComment/gvvkq/post.htm#522135Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:29:00 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522135Grammar Geek3http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoComment/gvvkq/post.htm#522135http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-522135.xmlAlthough you see people saying &quot;no comment&quot; to the media on fictional tv shows and movies, in fact, no real public relations person worth their salt would ever say that. Obviously, it doesn&#39;t mean &quot;I will not utter a sound&quot; but rather &quot;I can&#39;t reply in any substantive way, so I will not answer your question.&quot; In forums, it tends to be used sarcastically. If you say &quot;no comment&quot; your real message is &quot;You&#39;re full of ... .&quot; It&#39;s actually full of meaning when used that way.http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoComment/gvvkq/post.htmMon, 26 Jan 2009 17:29:00 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522120Anonymous4http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoComment/gvvkq/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-522120.xmlHey, Was answering a post on some other forums with the phrase &quot;No Comment&quot;. While ready to post, I realised that by saying this, I was in fact making a comment and so making my statement completly untrue! What I want to know is, &quot;What is the word or phrase that explains this situation in the english langauge?&quot;. Where the word or phrase contradicts the statement.
