- Keep hell no. I don't think hell yes should have been deleted. I tried to replace "hell" with other expletives in Google Ngram Viewer, and "hell" seems to be the most characteristic. The other ones, heck no and hecks no, are much rarer and thus have much less of a set phrase or phrasebook entry status. Here is my Ngram search: hell no,heck no,hecks no,fuck no,dammit no,damn no,shit no,crap no at the Google Books Ngram Viewer.. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:56, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep hell no -- I actually think it expresses something more than simply "firm disagreement". "Hell no, we won't go!!" is a common refrain by people objecting to governmental elements insisting on them having to go somewhere. Might even have one on "oh hell no."

Kept as to hell no; no consensus as to heck no and hecks no. bd2412 T 02:14, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
