nincs mese

Hungarian

nincs (“there is no”) +‎ mese (“fairy tale”)

(idiomatic) and that’s the end (of the story), and that’s it (there is no place for negotiation over the matter, it has to be implemented, whether we like it or not: usually used in case of an external necessity)
- 1987, László Szíjgyártó (Q24288241) (translator), Zsiványok (emlékezés), Európa Zsebkönyvek, originally The Reivers: A Reminiscence by William Faulkner
  Nincs mese: magának is éppúgy meg kell szoknia az autókat, mint másoknak.
  You might as well give up: you got to get used to automobiles like everybody else.

For the verb, see nincs: it is replaced by nem volt in the past. (Its future form, nem lesz, is uncommon.)
The noun mese remains unchanged.
