No joy is an English expression meaning a lack of success or failure; it can also mean a lack of luck. It is believed to derive from the lack of happiness or joy when success is achieved or a stroke of good fortune is encountered. Therefore no success, no luck, no joy.

Joy is a young woman full of charm and vigour. She is incredibly intelligent but doubts herself massively at times. She knows no limits and will live up to her name at all costs. Those closest to her will find her fierce loyalty admirable. She will always give everything she has to those most important to her. She loves to be cynical and can turn any situation into one that is humourous. Her smile is infectious. Joys are a joy to have in your life.
I met Joy today.
Doesn't she have a great smile?

There's nobody quite like Joy.

Joys are amazing people. Super fun and definitely a ‘joy’ to be around. Joys usually love books and Netflix. Joys are they type of people to correct ‘your’ to ‘you’re’ in your texts but you love them anyways. Joys are super sweet and pretty, but often underappreciated. If she has super strict parents she will probably be kinda nerdy, as she has to do well in school. This Joy will probably not be too popular but have a few really close friends. If a Joy with chill parents, she might slack off a bit in school, but still feels really bad if she gets a bad grade. She is probably popular and always on social media. No matter what kind of Joy you know, they are all the most fun people to be around, and you are lucky if you have a friend named Joy.
“OMG Joy where were you yesterday I was so bored!”

“Joy is really pretty, she seemed shy but then wouldn’t stop talking once I said hi”
