"I will have no truck with him..." Come from the nailmaking trade in the UK Midlands, and more specifically from the practice in the 18th-19th centuries(called "truck" at the time) of the middleman (aka "fogger") forcing the nailers to buy their vittles from his store. It's the same idea as the "company store" referred to in "Sixteen Tons". Anyway, truck was eventually outlawed, but the expression remained.

One of my favourites is a contemporary expression, coined (I believe) by the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly: "As welcome as a fart in a spacesuit".
