Diddly squat 什么都没有，几乎什么都没有

After a long day of work on the farm with nothing harvested (一无所获), he said, sat down, this farm is just producing diddly squat. 

Q：How much money he has made from the farm last year？ 

A：Honestly,diddly squat.

Farming seven days a week for a year, on a 6,000-acre farm, has generated an income（收入） of £144? 

Next time a farmer moans about（抱怨）the weather, put your arm around him and buy him a pint (酒). He’s not moaning about it, he’s moaning about it because it’s crucifying (很可怕).
