Actually means "something," but is used when you don't feel like explaining.

What my daughter tells me they learned at school today, and every other day for that matter. Usually followed by a shrug. Slang for "I can't be bothered remembering or telling you".

As a native New Yorker, it pains me to see that none of the other definitions seems to actually grasp what not for nothing means.

"Not for nothing" is used to soften the blow of something that would normally be offensive or come on too strong.

For example, if your friend showed up wearing purple and yellow striped pants to a party and asked you how he looked, you could respond, "well, not for nothing, Jimmy, but you look like a gay, retarded zebra." Or if you want to try out for a musical but you can't sing to save your life, your friend might tell you, "hey, not for nothing, but you suck at singing and you're not gonna get that part." Things of that nature.

Nothing was once questioned by a great mind. Is it the "prescense of abscence or the abscense of prescense"? Furthermore, what is the sound of one hand clapping? What is out there in the universe, at what makes up those vast spaces of abscense? (or prescense of abscense)

Nothing, put simply, is the deepest, shallowest, brightest, darkest, widest, thinnest, and incomprehensibly empty emptyness, so empty that it is only prevented from collapsing upon itself because there is no substance to collapsae in upon, or no substance to do the collapsing, or even any substance to think or daydream about collapsing upon abscense of prescense or prescense of abscense, which is still utterly and completely absent of form and shape and mass and prescense that is abscent from the existance of anything. In short, nothing is the total, absolute, final, and complete spot that is both positive and negative, young and old, and to sum it all up the opposite of everything in existance, for there is no existance in nothingness. It has even been thought that nothingness itself doesn't even exist, and that the existance of nothingness is so impossibly ludicrous and isnane that if anyone were to actually realize or see nothingness, the entirety of the expanse of the Everything would simply vaporize, leaving even more nothingness in its place.

Nothingness is nothing, to put it simply. (really, this time)

It basically means "nothing". "No nothing" is a stronger tone of expressing the state of having nothing at all.

A nerdy goth, or a gothic nerd. A noth fits in with the other goths, yet exels in school and are as smart as nerds. Nerds shouldn't be cunfused with geeks, dorks, or dweebs.Not geeks, dorks, and dweebs are smart. All nerds and noths are really smart and most are awsome.

It is mightier than God, more evil than the Devil, dumber than George W. Bush, uglier than Paris Hilton, the poor have it, the rich lack it, and if you eat it for too long, you will die.

Large amounts of it are found in the heads of politicians and the purses of pupils, students, single mothers and pensioners.

everything when somebody says nothing is wrong it means everything is wrong

Words used to finish off a sentence by those suffering from mental damage, a poor educational background, or simply a white trash lifestyle. Often used as a substitution for the slightly less unsavory phrase "or anything."
