No…/nothing to speak of

Pro Tip 1/3

Understated Presence

Used when something exists, but it's too small or unimportant to discuss in detail.

The town has a music scene, but there's nothing to speak of.

Pro Tip 2/3

Expressing Negligibility

Emphasizes that the amount or extent of something is so minimal it's almost as if it doesn't exist.

After the party, there was no food left to speak of.

Pro Tip 3/3

Lack of Remarkability

Indicates that a feature or quality isn't notable enough to mention.

The book was boring, with no original ideas to speak of.
