The Non-non Song

The Pentagon, as well as other bureaucratic agencies, has a way with language. The Pentagon did not agree with the findings of a report on Iraq, so the folks at the Pentagon used the verb nonconcur. No, your spellchecker will not be familiar with this term.

Nonconcur.

"Honey? Wanna do it tonight?"

"I have a headache, so I nonconcur with your request, sweetie."

There must be dozens of spinoffs of this sort of deviated euphemism, this squinting pleasantry, this glancing skirting, we can create, me and you (you and I) (readers and me) (readers and I).

nonmurder = injure

noncompensate = steal

nonarrest = escape

nonterminate = harass

nonsuccumb = barely survive

nonwin = lose

nonscore = reject

and non and non and non anon
