A logical fallacy in which both terms of a categorical syllogism are negative.

Example:
  No former presidents are Canadian.
  No one I know is a former president.
  Therefore, no one i know is Canadian.

To prove the fallacy, assume both premises are true and find an example that fits but contradicts the conclusion. For example, I know a girl named Randi from Canada.
