Somewhere between the BigNo and LittleNo, is the Blunt "No". This is used to immediately shut down any type of request or argument, no matter how impassioned it is. The effect of this is to make it known that the person on using the Blunt "No" is deadset on ignoring TheHero's impassioned speech, the Villain's MotiveRant, the DoggedNiceGuy's romantic advances, or what have you, making it clear where they stand. They will NOT change their mind. Don't even try.
Whereas the LittleNo is a bit more versatile on what it can cover, the Blunt "No" is usually delivered in a sharp manner, whether it's loud and bold or delivered in a deadpan manner.

They will NOT change their mind. Don't even try.
Whereas the LittleNo is a bit more versatile on what it can cover, the Blunt "No" is usually delivered in a sharp manner, whether it's loud and bold or delivered in a deadpan manner.
A sub-trope of DramaticDeadpan, though it can be used to comedic effect, sometimes in the HaHaHaNo or {{No Just No|Reaction}} fashion. A form of ShutUpHannibal and ShutUpKirk.
