neither work nor work

لا شغلة ولا عملة
laa sheghle wala 3amle

Literally ‘neither work nor work’, but actually used to mean ‘with absolutely nothing to do’ or ‘doing absolutely nothing’:

في نائب ما عندو لا شغلة ولا عملة الا الكذب ولك عيب استحى وانضب
fii naa2eb maa 3indo laa sheghle wala 3amle 2illa lkizeb wlak 3eeb sta7i w@nDabb
There’s an MP who does absolutely nothing but lie – shame on you, have some shame and shut the hell up

عاطل عن العمل لا شغلة ولا عملة الا كزدر وشم هوا
3aaTel 3an el3amal laa sheghle wala 3amle 2illa kazder w shimm hawa
I’m unemployed, I’ve got nothing to do except wander around [= wander and sniff air]
