A blunt, vulgar British and Canadian expression meaning absolutely nothing or next to nothing at all.
A blunt, vulgar British and Canadian expression meaning absolutely nothing or next to nothing at all. Functionally equivalent to 'jack squat,' 'sweet FA,' or 'bugger all,' it emphasizes complete emptiness or absence — of money, effort, progress, or results. The directness is part of its appeal: when someone has done dick all, there's no softening that assessment. It carries both frustration and a certain resigned humor, especially when applied to oneself.
I worked on the report all weekend and still got dick all done because of the power outage.

A mildly vulgar slang phrase meaning absolutely nothing — a more emphatic version of 'nothing at all,' used to express frustration or dismissiveness. Functionally parallel to 'bugger all' or 'sod all' in British registers. Typically deployed when someone has received nothing, achieved nothing, or been left with nothing after an effort.
(UK, Irish, Commonwealth, slang, vulgar) nothing at all or very little.
British euphemistic way of saying 'absolutely nothing' — a polite swap-in for the stronger 'f*** all'. If someone did eff all today, they accomplished zero, zilch, nothing whatsoever. The 'eff' softens the explicit F-word just enough to deploy in mixed company or print without causing a scene. Widely used across the UK with varying degrees of irony and exasperation, often when complaining about laziness, empty results, or a total lack of effort.
