thanks for nothing
Ironic appreciation expressed
Thanks for nothing is a sarcastic expression of annoyance directed at someone who failed to help or made things worse.
The phrase inverts the polite formula of gratitude to convey its opposite—resentment that no useful assistance was provided: I asked you to cover for me and you forgot? Thanks for nothing.
Sometimes used with mock cheerfulness.
