to a toddler and a dog, that word establishes a boundary that must be tested over and over and over before it is understood that 'no' truly means 'no'. (and then must be tested one more time to be sure.)
to a school age boy, it means a different form of boundary--one that isn't fair and requires pouting.
to an adult, it can mean a difference of opinion, a rejection, obstinance, an authoritative command, and many other things.
amazing thing...one little word.
