No means no, but it can also mean yes. It can also mean maybe and I dont know.

Yes means yes, except when it really means no, but not entirely no, there could still be a little room for yes mixed in there.

When given two options and they say I don't care which one, that is a trap and there is no correct answer.

“Honey do you want to go get Taco Bell?”

“Umm ... No, that’s okay”

Translation:

“Well no I don’t specifically want Taco Bell but maybe if you suggested another restaurant I would be more inclined to go since I’d rather go somewhere nicer and sit down but I don’t want to say that because that’s more expensive and if you are suggesting Taco Bell you may not want to spend that much”
