No, no, and no. I dont know when we gave it to you. Why - well you gave us bloody David Hasselhoff, Billy Ray Cyrus, Microsoft, etc... They are evil and unnatural... No, we wont take it back, unless you take them back.

And its not so much a double negative, but more a off handed way of saying "its all good, everything is under control, its okay". Alternatives are "No wuckin forries" or "no wuckers" for short. Figure this out yourself... :)

A double negative is when you ask a gangsta hood what they were doing (after you spied them dealing drugs or whatever) "Im not doin nothin" Well, if you aren't doin nothin, they must be doin somethin... :)
