$(\'p:not(:nth-child(1),:nth-child(2))\')

But this only excludes

try:

$('p:not(:nth-child(1)),p:not(:nth-child(2))')

Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/#negation

from that reference: "The negation pseudo-class, :not(X), is a functional notation taking a simple selector (excluding the negation pseudo-class itself) as an argument...."
