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.
(slang, vulgar) Nothing at all, or very little.
(UK, slang, vulgar, derogatory, rare) Absolutely nothing.
(mildly, vulgar, slang, Commonwealth, UK, Irish) Nothing.
