no luck · no success · not possible · not going to happen
Ever tried something that just didn't pan out? Or asked for something that got rejected? 'No dice!' is your go-to phrase for when things don't go your way, or a plan falls through. 🎲 It’s like saying, 'Nope, that's not happening!' with a bit of a playful, sometimes frustrated, shrug. It’s perfect for those daily mini-disappointments!
💡 **Origin Story!** This fun phrase comes from gambling, specifically craps, where a roll of the dice might not give you the winning combination. If the dice don't roll in your favor, it's 'no dice'! 🙅♀️ It’s usually used informally, so save it for friends, family, or chill colleagues. Think of it as a casual way to admit defeat or a failed attempt.
