Never

Not ever. Not once. No way, no how. Nada.
Guy 1 - “Have you seen Sonic 2?”
Guy 2 - “Never.”
Guy 1 - “Well, there’s this one part whe-”
Guy 2 - “DON’T spoil it.”

never in my nine lives

“Never in my nine lives” bites off the whole cats have nine lives thing. It’s what you say when something’s so unbelievable, it’s like it never happened, not even once across all nine of your lives.
“Girl, you're crazy if you really think I’m buying that story. Never in my nine lives would I fall for that.

A watched pot never boils

To wait anxiously for something to happen. It will seem to take a very long time or not at all.
This strategy is doomed from the start because it is far too public: a watched pot never boils.

Never gonna give

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it

What you sarcastically quip back at someone who is bemoaning da fact dat he wasted ten minutes of his life doing something dat turned out to be useless.
Dude #1 (having just super-briefly talked to customer-service after waiting an absurdly long time to get connected): Man, what an insufferable delay just being stuck on hold --- THAT'S ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back!
Dude #2: ...aaaand that's ANOTHER ten SECONDS that you'll never get back from COMPLAINING about it!
