Joe: If we get in a fight, I got your back.

Not for nothing 

It's a phrase you use towards someone when you want to stress a point that, although not really important, still bears mentioning. It's almost like when people say or write "just saying" at the end of a comment.

A girl throws a drink in your friend's face...

Friend: "I can't believe that bitch did that to me!"
You: "Not for nothing, but you were acting like an ass."

Friend: "I can't believe that bitch did that to me!"
You: "Well, you were acting like an ass. Just saying."

Look at Amad, he's 6'3, but sucks at basketball, such a tall-for-nothing.

Thanks for nothing card 

A blank 'thank you' card sent anonymously to someone, particularly an employer or potential employer, who has treated you badly.

He opened the envelope and found a thank you card, but there was nothing written in it or on it. Completely blank. The envelope had no return address. What did this mean and who sent it to him? Was it a mistake? Hmmm?

This man received a 'thanks for nothing card' or TFN card.

You can hate me if you want, I'm not changing for nothing 

A phrase that can be said in self-defense when someone is verbally harassing you. It implies that you do not care if they hate you for what you are or what you do, and that you will not conform to their ways to satisfy them. Useful in situations involving politics, choosing sides in an argument, etc. It is a perfect saying when you are under verbal attack by hate-filled people.

Some bitch: You suck! That's because you're a Republican!
Ryan (Me): You can hate me if you want, I'm not changing for nothing.

not for nothing 

Colloquial, inverted way of saying, "for good reason," to emphasize a point. "Not for nothing is Paris called the City of Lights." Used extensively in English literature, including C.S. Lewis, Samuel Butler, and Jack London.

It can also imply consequences, for good or bad. "Not for nothing has Shaq played basketball all those years." Or, in a negative way, "Not for nothing has David Duke earned a reputation for bigotry."

It does not mean "for what it's worth," a common mistake. To see why this does not work, replace the words: "For what it's worth is Paris called the City of Lights."

There is a similar Italian phrase which is not used in the same manner in Italian, "non per niente."

Not for nothing had he been exposed to the pitiless struggles for life in the day of his cubhood, when his mother and he, alone and unaided, held their own and survived in the ferocious environment of the Wild. -Jack London

It is not for nothing you are named Ransom. -C.S. Lewis

Not for nothing is the Urban Dictionary known as the repository of online slang.

Not for nothing do Red Cross volunteers offer aid around the world.
