Nothing Man

A song by Bruce Springsteen. Nothing man is said to be about how firefighters, police, EMT, soldiers etc. do so much for people, and expect so little in return, and still feel they are just like everyone else, just average joe's.

Adam's a firefighter, but still feels no one owes him anything, and that he is a regular guy. He is the nothing man.

Desperate man with nothing to lose

When you are willing to do absolutely anything to get what you want and are inclined to go to great lengths to do so.

Shaun is a desperate man with nothing to lose

Nothingman

Term inspired by the Pearl Jam song "Nothingman". Refers to someone who is visibly depressed but when questioned as to what's wrong responds with "Nothing, man."

Dude: What's wrong with Steve?
Other Dude: Dunno, he's being a Nothingman. Maybe we should give him some space.
Dude: Yo, Steve, what's wrong, man?
Steve: Nothing, man..
