The prompt pairs a short subject with the --no parameter, listing the items to exclude separated by commas. Midjourney’s docs give it as the good example for --no, while their bad examples use phrases like “without any fruit” inside the prompt. To adapt it, change the subject and the excluded words, remembering that each word after --no is read on its own.

The prompt is quoted from No - Midjourney Docs.

Questions

Why not write “without any fruit” in the prompt?
Midjourney’s docs list that phrasing as a bad example and recommend the --no parameter instead.
How do I exclude more than one thing?
List the words after --no separated by commas, as in --no fruit, apple, pear.
Is --no the same as a negative weight?
Yes. Midjourney says --no equals a -0.5 prompt weight.
