Does "snake eyes" mean nothing to y'all?
A) It's the lowest possible roll.
2) It's an automatic loss if rolled on the first roll.
Þ) It does seem a little out of place. Where'd that snake-eyes quote come from, anyway?

How else do we express nothing?
Since zed is somewhat akin, and seen already seen zilch,
would our Aussie's suggest that by combining zilch and zed, we get Zild?

A little boy at the Zoo looking at an elephant, pointed and said:"What's that?" His mother said:"That's his tail." The little boy said:"Not his tail, what that in front of it?" His mother said:"Oh, that's nothing."
The elephant's attendant said:"My, ma'am, but you're blasé!"

No need to google your Shakespeare,
For we now have our SilkMuse here
To immunize us from confusion
And state precisely each allusion.

From William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" Act one, Scene one:
BASSANIO speaks:
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more
than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two
grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you
shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you
have them, they are not worth the search.

"I'm broke", or as the commercial says, "nut 'n, honey"
Have we covered I'm busted?
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,
we may ragged and funny,
but we'll travel along,
singing this song,
side by side
...just felt like remembering something that gives a lilt to being penniless. Hey! That's busted, too!
Broke regards,
