| Phrase | no-no |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "no-no" is used with children to talk about something they should not do or cannot have: "His father told him again and again that taking off his seatbelt in the car was a no-no." A "no-show" is someone who does not come to a place when he or she was supposed to: "Forty people were supposed to come to the conference, but there were six no-shows." A "no-brainer" is something that is very obvious and very easy and does not require any thought: "Turning down the heat is a no-brainer if you want to spend less on electricity." The word "no-frills" describes something that is very simple and basic, without anything extra or fancy: "They bought a no-frills car for a really good price." Finally, "no-nonsense" describes a person or approach that is very direct and straightforward: "The employees respect Blake for his no-nonsense management style." |
