Robin: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.

Eddie: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

Doch - one of the best German words

"Ich habe deine Mutter nicht getötet" - Doch!

"Ich habe nicht gelogen" - Doch!

"Du wolltest doch nicht mitkommen" - Doch!

Doch has many meanings, among the best is used above. Duden calls this usage:

"als gegensätzliche Antwort auf eine negativ formulierte Aussage oder Frage in Konkurrenz zu „ja“ bei einer positiv formulierten Frage und in Opposition zu „nein“"

(as contrary answer to a negative statement or question..."

So what does "Doch" mean here?

You say doch when someone makes a negated claim (I didn't kill your mother; i didn't lie; you didn't want to come with) and you want to say that in fact they DID/you DID

-> it's negating a negated statement/question

Doch can also be used in different ways (though not as fun):

"Es wird doch nichts passiert sein?" -> strengthens the question, similar to "surely...?"

"Das ist doch nur dumm!" -> fortifies unhappiness or frustration in a Statement/question, similar to "straight up, simply..."

"Ihr kommt doch heute Abend?" -> fortifies hope in a statement/question, like "you ARE coming, RIGHT?"

(you tell the two apart by overall mood of the person speaking)

"Wie ging der Text doch gleich?" -> implies the person knows the thing they ask about but can't recall at the moment

"Sie kommt doch nicht mit" -> confirms something that had been a theory up until then, similar to "after all"

i want to make a "he should've been at the club" post about hamlet but there's so much controversy about his actual age that i can't while still maintaining any claim to academic integrity

And so the cycle continues
