No sirree, Bob! You’ll learn how to dig under the covers and understand how data is captured and why with competitive intelligence more than anywhere else the principle of garbage in, garbage out applies

no sirree, bob!
¡claro qué no!


Explanation:
I can think of quite a few examples of informal affirmations (Clarín cornetas, obvio, including some verging on rude, although very common) but only one or two negations:
claro que no
en absoluto
de ninguna manera (already suggested)

Good luck!

Sorry, I don't think there should be an accent on "que".

Reference information:
En efecto, opino que podrías traducirlo como sugieres (aunque yo no usaría doble eñe, pero eso es cuestión de preferencias). Encontré esto en el urban dictionary, es un "diálogo" entre un gángster y otro sujeto. El lenguaje parece muy coloquial y un tanto incomprensible, sin embargo te deja un contexto diferente donde puedes deducir el significado de ¡no señooorrr!
¡Saludos, Marga! :-)
