no thanks
Declining an offer
No thanks is a polite refusal, declining an offer or invitation: Would you like some coffee? No thanks, I'm good.
The phrase softens rejection—bare "no" can sound curt, while "no thanks" acknowledges the offer graciously.
Sometimes used sarcastically to reject something undesirable: Another pandemic? No thanks.
