no-goes

Things not allowed

No-goes are things that are forbidden, unacceptable, or simply won't work.

The term comes from no-go, describing something ruled out: Peanuts are a no-go because of her allergy.

In plural form, no-goes often lists multiple restrictions or dealbreakers: Late arrivals and cell phones are absolute no-goes in her classroom.
