What Do No Memes Mean?

No memes represent a forceful "no." They're a way to visually express how you feel about a request when words aren't enough.

How Are No Memes Used?

Most no memes include a picture of a cranky character or animal. Sometimes the creature is laughing or smirking, though. Think: "ha ha ha no" or "how about no?" variations.

Examples of No Memes

Example #1:

Example #2:

Text: HA HA HA NO
Meaning: When your request is so outrageous, you get a hearty laugh before a hard no.

Example #3:
Image:
Dog with an apparent sneer on their face
Text: Wait, I got a better idea. How 'bout no?
