A good-for-nothing person is lazy and useless — they do not work, they do not help, they are good for nothing, as the words say straight out. You can put it before a noun (a good-for-nothing son) or use it as a name for the person (he's a good-for-nothing). It is a word, a little old-fashioned, and quite ; might throw it more than young people. It judges character and effort, not bad luck or illness. Keep the : it is one adjective (or noun) made of three little words.
沒出息的、廢物(罵人很重,有點老派)
組成good + for + nothing: good for nothing, written as one hyphenated word.
