Kant’s “no”

Answer:

NEIN

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue plays on the fact that Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher, so his way of saying "no" wouldn’t be the English word—it’d be the German equivalent. "Nein" is the straightforward German term for "no," making this a simple but clever language-based clue. The humor comes from imagining a famous thinker rejecting something in his native tongue.
