This is another way of saying no-account. You use it of a person — sometimes of a plan or a job — that you think is worthless: they do not work, they do not keep their word, they do not count.
This is another way of saying no-account這是 no-account 的另一種說法。 You use it of a person你用它說一個人—— sometimes of a plan or a job有時也說一個計畫或一份差事—— that you think is worthless你覺得不中用的: they do not work不做事、 they do not keep their word不守信、 they do not count根本算不了數。
It is very informal American English, especially in the South of the United States, and it is a hard, dismissing word. You will mostly hear it in front of a noun: that no-count boyfriend, a no-count scheme. Older speakers still say no-account; no-count is the shorter form of the same idea.
It is very informal American English這是非常口語的美式英文, especially in the South of the United States尤其在美國南方, and it is a hard, dismissing word而且是個很重、把人整個否定掉的字。 You will mostly hear it你聽到它,多半 in front of a noun是在名詞前面: that no-count boyfriend那個沒出息的男朋友、 a no-count scheme一個不成材的計畫。 Older speakers still say年長的人還是說 no-account; no-count is the shorter form no-count 是縮短的講法, of the same idea意思同一個。

Though actually不過其實, it is not the grammar word它不是文法上 for things you cannot count講「不可數」東西的那個詞, like water or advice像 water 或 advice。 That is a different no-count那是另一個 no-count, written in a different place寫在別的地方。
