 >...maybe someone reading this has heard this "Good for nothing" phrase.

From Google:
The phrase "good for nothing" originated in the early 1600s, appearing in
written form in texts from that period. It was formed by compounding the words
"good" and "nothing," with the literal meaning of being "good for no purpose"
or "useless". The concept of being useless was also explored in older
societies, where value was measured by contributions to a community.
