#"No" or "Ohi"

In Greece they celebrate "Ohi Day" or "No Day" to commemorate the day that Greek prime minister Ioannis Metaxas rejected the ultimatum made by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini on 28 October 1940 allegedly with a simple "No".

Wikipedia reports that his actual reply was "“Alors, c’est la guerre!” (so this is war!)."
