thanks

no thanks to someone

if you have done something no thanks to a particular person, you have done it although they did not help you or tried to prevent you. Well, we've finished the painting, no thanks to Sandra who suddenly decided she had to go away for the weekend!

Thanks a million! (informal)

something that you say to thank someone for something they have done for you. It was a really good piece of advice - thanks a million. So you didn't bother to call me and tell me you'd be late? Thanks a million!
