Consent is the first and most important thing both people need before anything happens, whether that’s kissing or having sex. When someone says no, it means no. Even a slurred yes doesn’t necessarily mean yes, and sometimes body language alone is enough to mean no. However, if someone isn’t taking the hint, there are plenty of variations of how to say no, and here are 11 of them.
1. “I’m not interested”
2. “When pigs fly”
3. “Aint nobody got time for that”
4. “Talk to the hand”
5. “Sh sh sh shut your mouth”
6. “Sorry not sorry”
7. “I’m uncomfortable”
8. “As if”
9. “I’m too young for you, bro”
10. “It’s a no from me”
11. “I better not”
