did neither vs did not neither

The phrase 'did neither' is correct, while 'did not neither' is incorrect. 'Neither' is used in negative sentences to indicate that two or more things are not true or possible. Adding 'not' before 'neither' creates a double negative, which is not grammatically correct in English.
