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.
We waited three hours and the council did eff all about the flooding.
