The idiom "nothing doing" has its origins in American English, likely dating back to the early 20th century. It is an informal expression used to convey a refusal, rejection, or dismissal of a proposal, suggestion, or request. The phrase implies a sense of negation, indicating that there is no possibility or interest in the suggested course of action. Over time, "nothing doing" has become a colloquial and straightforward way of saying "no" or expressing a lack of agreement or willingness.
