no such thing

Purely a fiction

No such thing denies the existence of something previously mentioned or implied: There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The phrase dismisses a category entirely—not just a particular instance but the very possibility: Ghosts? There's no such thing.

It can also reject a claim or excuse: I'll do no such thing.
