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.
