Sweet FAsweet Fanny Adams British old-fashioned informal slang
This phrase means nothing at all. The term is a euphemistic replacement for "sweet fuck all," which implies the same thing. Sometimes shortened to "sweet FA".
You cannot fire me with sweet Fanny Adams to explain to me.
Do you know what happened to him? - Sweet Fanny Adam
How much did the car cost you? - Sweet FA, my dad gave me that car as a birthday gift
In a famous murder case in 1867, Fanny Adams was the young victim, her body mutilated and cut to pieces by the killer. Her name came to be used as a slang term for a type of tinned meat or stew recently introduced to the Royal Navy with gruesome black humour; the present meaning developed early in the 20th century.
