What does
Quote:
having less than zero contempt
actually mean?
Ah well it's like this.
You introduced the concept of a "contention of zero contempt for those younger than me" in your earlier post.
I took your syllogistic form, and inverted it, creating a positive from your inferred negative suppositionary allusion.
Having done that, I concluded the conversion to metaphor by implying a double negative rendering of the original form, thus creating an implied positive that is contextually linked to the original statement. Thus, by the dual processes of implication and obfuscation, I arrived at the phrase in question.
Can't say clearer than that, can I?
In other words, I think young pilots are way cool, but their music sucks and they have no respect for their elders. And as for their choice in women... damn I wish I was younger!
