jack-diddly-fucking-shit-squat

noun. Roughly translated, this amounts to a big bucket o' nada.

Real citation: "I don't know if April Cummings does her own research or reads from a scripted newscast, but someone at KRON is clearly uneducated jack-diddly-fucking-shit-squat about anarchism."
(Sholom Keller, July 10, 2005, San Francisco Independent Media Center)

Made-up citation: "Mathematicians at a local university are working to find a number between zero and jack-diddly-fucking-shit-squat. For mathematicians, they're not very smart."
