Note
One spelling covers several unrelated plurals. Most often it counts informal refusals, as in a lot of nopes. In slang it counts things so off-putting they are rejected on sight. Older and regional uses survive too: an archaic name for the bullfinch, and, in the East Midlands and Northern England, a blow to the head. Context alone tells them apart, and the same spelling also serves the verb form.
