nay, never, nix, not, by no means, negative, no way, not at all, not by any means, uh uh, nope . . .
No, not a dictionary - a thesaurus maybe.
I also stay away from dictionaries when reading in a foreign language. Guessing at the word through context and studying the endings to determine the word's place in a sentence seem to work best for me. The word can be jotted down to check it's meaning later so that the story isn't interrupted (barge in, interject, disturb, intrude, interpose, intersect, interfere, cut in on).
