affirmative pregnant

affirmative pregnant. A positive statement that ambiguously implies a negative; a statement that does not explicitly deny a charge, but instead answers an unasked question and thereby implies culpability, as when a person says “I returned your car yesterday” to the charge “You stole my car!” Cf. NEGATIVE PREGNANT.
