“Ain’t got no…” Ain't is a contraction for am not, is not, are not, has not, and have not. Ain't is found throughout the English-speaking world across regions and classes, and is one of the most pervasive nonstandard terms in English. Ain't is commonly used by many speakers in oral or informal settings (not in situations such as exams). The usage of ain't for the forms of to be not was established by the mid-18th century, and for the forms of to have not by the early 19th century. “I ain’t got no cash” = “I haven’t got any cash” This is an example of the informal use of the supposedly incorrect ‘double negative’ (ain’t + no). Your English coach will probably use this but will tell you not to!
