@the_wub @kibcol1049 @chillicampari "Doch" is the one-word solution for Germans for insisting on being right. "Doch" is what children say, thumping their feet on the ground, crying. "Doch" means "Still" or "Yes I f***g do" or "No, I will never do that" depending on context before. It can also mean "Yes, really!!" after somebody voiced doubt. Famous is Louis de Funes "Nein! Doch! Oooooh! in German Internet culture...

"Oh yeah for sure, yes" and more are very typical there. And Bavarian has quadruple negatives that stay negative. "Naa, koane Masern hob I no nia net gehabt!" for example. stays negative, the speaker never has caught the measles. @chillicampari can confirm
