now it's definitely a no!
I used to get so irritated with this statement as a kid. My dad used to always use it. It's cruel and completely dishonest in nature. It will be easier for me to explain this through an example.
Me: Dad can I go to the movies with my friends.
Dad: No, I don't want you going out.
Me: All my friends are going to be there.
Dad: I'm not everyone else's dad, the answer is no.
Me: Please dad, I'll be home by 11 and all my homework is done.
Dad: I don't care. I said 'no' and that's final!
Me: This is so stupid!
Dad: Fine, you want to have attitude, now the answer is definately no!
I mean seriously, the answer was 'no' all along. Then parents try to turn it around to make it look like it could have been 'yes' if you hadn't ruined things. There was no chance that the answer would have changed to 'yes.' It's a mean, evil trick that parents play.

Don't give away our secrets as parents!! I actually add that "You won't be going anywhere tomorow either if you ask again." and that usually ends the converstaion ; )
interesting.
Is that right! My parents say no, and when they do, it'll never change. And when they say maybe, it's a sure yes.
I have to agree with you. Maybe sometimes your parents were trying to make sure you were alright but instead they ended up going overboard.
