jemandem einen Korb geben
To give someone a basket. Duden defines Korb in this sense as a negative answer to an offer or to a proposal of marriage. One of its examples comes from politics. Die FDP gab der CDU in den Koalitionsverhandlungen einen Korb. The FDP rejected the CDU in the coalition talks. Duden traces the phrase to an old custom. A rejected suitor received a small basket without a bottom.
abblitzen
To be turned away, to find no favor. Sie ist bei ihm abgeblitzt. He rejected her.
nicht in die Tüte kommen
Not to go into the bag. Duden defines it as to be out of the question. Das kommt nicht in die Tüte! That is out of the question!
