no chance
Not gonna happen
No chance is a flat refusal or emphatic denial that something will happen or be permitted: You want to borrow my car? No chance.
It can also assess probability as essentially zero: There's no chance we'll finish by Friday.
The phrase is blunter than "unlikely" and often carries finality.
