Question

No Dice refused; no! absolutely not

Accepted Answer

I asked my father for a raise in my allowance, but he said, 'No dice!' This 20th-century American saying must come from gambling games that use dice, but no one is sure about the original meaning. If there are no dice, there's no game, which should explain how this phrase came to mean "no!"
