Absolutes and shades of grey...
Firstly, NO means NO.
Secondly, nooohhh, giggle, giggle, hmmm... nooohh, usually means "I'm playing coy and inexperienced, so you better try harder and get the pineapple out the wallet".
Thirdly, sometimes yes means no. In some cultures (Japanese comes to mind) it is really impolite to say no. Even when that is what they really mean.
Fourthly, sometimes there is a language barrier, so the other person does not know what she / he is saying no or yes to. Gestures and handsignals come to play.
And finally a question to Gucci...
If someone asks you: "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"
Would your answer be yes or no?
