What does “no more” mean?
"No more" often means "stop this" or "not any extra". In a short, less common pattern like "strangers no more", it means "not ... anymore" and sounds catchy or a bit literary.
When people say it
- Before a noun or -ing form to stop something: "no more arguing", "no more waiting".
- To mean no extra amount: "No more cake for me, thanks."
- In short, slogan-like lines: "No more excuses."
- In the fixed phrase "Say no more", it means "I understand; you do not need to explain."
Tone: Usually direct and natural in speech, signs, and headlines; "X no more" can sound playful, dramatic, or slightly literary, and "Say no more" is very informal.
