Example: I asked my father for a raise in my allowance, but he said no dice.

Meaning: refused; NO! not possible

Origin: This 20th century American saying comes from gambling games that use dice. For example, in the game of Craps, when a throw is out of play or a die is not lying flat, the throw is not valid and is ruled as 'no dice.'
