Zero

Zero is less nothing but more not something or rather abscence of things (that allow the user to individuate matter in space and therefore make sense of the world.) Or it can be (in this particular case) the opposite of hero as in from zero to hero or vice versa.

"That chap needs to spend less time trying to define deeply complicated philosophical issues like zero and more time time trying to get a job."
"Your right, he's a real zero."

off the hook

A truly outrageous party or gathering. To recieve this moniker, the experience should of transcended the norm and in fact gone way beyond it - to realms that are (almost) void of defintion. The happiness, love and sheer exuberance of it all should of reminded everyone in attendance the joy of what is to be alive. Off the hook is as close as we've got thus far to describe such an event. Use sparingly.

"How was your weekend Jim?"
"Jesus, fucking Christ, it was insane, completely and utterly off hook!"
"Oh, very well. I need those insurance reports on my desk first thing!"

Unemployment

In the UK we have a saying. It goes like this. Whats green and gets you fucked? Your Giro! This sums up enemployment exquisitely - go down to the: job centre/ dole office / welfare - pick up your govermental contribution for food and rent, walk out of the building and directly into the nearest pub and spend every last penny of it on alcohol and drugs.

"It's bloody busy in ere, whats the beef?"
"We're next to the labour exchange guv."
