Slang words like 'Nope'

Do you have an equivalent of these in Russian? I say 'Nope' a lot, is there an equivalent word I could use in Russian?

"Nope" isn't slang, it's just informal. Rough Russian equivalents would be "не(-)а" and "нетушки".

Slang expressions would be things like "No siree, Bob!" or "No way, José!". I'm not sure what Russian equivalents for those might be.
