    Wouldn’t inverse thank you be “welcome?”

    Pronouns welcome!

      Now you’ve got me thinking about it. Time to nerd out, I guess, haha.

      From an algebraic perspective, it would be whatever “undoes” a thank you.

      From a logic perspective, it would be something that is the complement of a thank you, and contradicts a thank you given ty ∧ ¬ty or is a tautology when ty ∨ ¬ty.

      “Welcome” doesn’t seem to quite fit for either of those cases. “Not thank you” or “ungrateful” do indeed seem closer.
