No can do simply means that whatever you are asking, the person you have asked to do, they can't do it.
If someone tells you something is a no can do, it means you can't do it.
Cracker Jack has several meanings. The most common is someone who is really bright and studious and knows the answers to all the questions, or does something really well.

Said like that, someone is telling someone else he can't do something. Cracker Jack would be what they're calling the other person.

Interesting! I think I've actually heard this before - after all, many people misunderstand it as the food...what kind of sense would that make? I also find it funny how blacks find us extremely racist, and yet they slur every other race, mostly whites, on the planet. The slavery has taken a turn where white people are no longer in control of the blacks; we're finally scared of getting jumped by them, and all of a sudden, everyone wants to be in possession of a pistol and wear a red/blue bandana over their head. Edit @ those who think this is racist - where in this question is there any hint of racism? Blacks is just the easier term to use. God only knows, we could be talking to a Somalian immigrant who therefore ISN'T African American. So there's a disadvantage to not using the colour. I think it's starting to become acceptable in society to refer to black people as...well, black people. I don't think many black people even refer to THEMSELVES as African American as it's become too formal of a racial classification. They have to call each other the N word in order to feel like they're classified as African American. Black is just the easiest term to use, the asker did not point fingers at anyone. Quit getting butt hurt about it.

"No can do" generally means, I cannot or will not do a certain thing. "Cracker Jack" Generally means first rate, or the best, or something done very well.

That can be translated in simpler words as "This is impossible, smarty." In this sentence you're "smarty"--that is, a smart person.

"no-can-do" means "Sorry, I can't do that."
