One routine used for deception is the "N-O" routine. The "N-O" routine has been used famously as a deceptive non-response to the inquiry regarding adultery as well as other issue.
"N-O" is not "No". "N-O" is not a denial nor a negative response. "N-O" are just the 2 of letter between "M" and "P" in the alphabet. "N-O" is non-responsive unless the inquiry was regarding the letter between "M" and "P" in the alphabet.
Along with the "N-O" routine is often the false claim to have given answer when the answer was not given.
