no cheating
Follow the rules
No cheating is a directive prohibiting dishonest shortcuts—copying answers, breaking rules, or gaining unfair advantage.
It appears before tests, games, and competitions: No cheating on the exam.
The phrase can also serve as a playful reminder when someone might be tempted to peek or skip ahead: No cheating—close your eyes.
