What the fuck is a No Knothing?
It must describe someone who is really something, right?
It's all about that double negative thingy they taught us in grade school (two negatives make a positive).
"He's nothing" is very, very bad.
"He's no nothing" is not quite as bad. It does not necessarily describe someone who is superlative or even average or inferior; rather it defines someone who is merely better, however slightly, than nothing; sorta like the last two Republican presidential candidates or the replacement referees.
However, when you prefixed no knothing by the letter a the implication was that no knothing was a noun, which is not the case. The poster was attempting to define the state of intelligence or awareness of a particular person by saying he knows nothing, but instead of typing knows nothing, he typed no knothing. There's nothing here but a rather egregious spelling error, just a misdemeanor on most forums.
I hope you understand. If you do, at least one of us does.
