Look up nothing in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Nothing literally means "no thing". This is a list of words and phrases that have two things in common. Firstly, they indicate a lack of something (or a prohibition against something), i.e., a nothing in some dimension, thereby being categorized in Category:Nothing. Secondly, they are already used in titles within Wikipedia, so this list provides a home for their categorized redirects. In some cases, the nothing is implied to everyone else.
This is not an empty list, nor a set of meaningless "sweet nothings". It is about words such as meaningless that indicate a lack of something - of having nothing in some dimension. Many of these can be used as pejoratives.
When used pejoratively, many are subjective and relative to the social context of the speaker, while their positive conterparts, are objective about the person, e.g., stubborn=wont listen to me; persistent=in all endevours; boring in a social situation; methodical in his work
While some of these words can have multiple definitions, this list merges their definitions related to nothingness.
Quotes are for pejorative uses within science - a social enterprise like any other.
Use the pejorative lexeme (adjective?) where possible, e.g., lacking rather than lack
Adynaton (plural adynata) is a figure of speech in the form of hyperbole taken to such extreme lengths as to insinuate a complete impossibility. The word derives from the Greek ἀδύνατον (adunaton), neuter of ἀδύνατος (adunatos), "unable, impossible" (a-, "without" + dynasthai, "to be powerful").
ageusia
Ageusia is the complete loss of the perception of taste. From Ancient Greekἀγνωσία (agnōsía, “ignorance”); From ἀγνώς (agnṓs, “unknown, ignorant”) + -ῐ́ᾱ (-íā); From ἀ- (a-, “not”) + the root of γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō, “I know”).
for-: Meaning "far", "away"; "from", "out" e.g. forbid, forget, forsay; forbear, fordeem; Meaning "completely", "to the fullest extent" e.g. forbreak; superseded by combinations with "up" in senses where no upward movement is involved, e.g. forgive = give up (one's offenses), forgather = "gather up", forbeat = "beat up", etc.

gain- Prefix meaning "against", "contrary to", "in opposition to", "counter-".; Prefix denoting reciprocal action; "in return"; "counter-"; Prefix denoting restoration or a return to a previous state; "back again".
The suffix -ist can mean a person who holds bigoted, partial views (in a particular dimension) while others do not, e.g., : sexist, racist: Note, these are related to -isms: sexism, racism. ###It is almost always used pejoratively, and its use, with meager evidence makes one a complainist, negativeist and gossipist.###
No can indicate not any, e.g., there is no water left; or not properly/really/fully, e.g., I have no life. Often a prohibition - something not allowed, e.g., no parking.
To pull (something) back, aside, or away - no longer there. To take back (a comment, etc); To remove, to stop providing (one's support, etc); To retreat. To be in withdrawal from an addictive drug etc - no longer consuming but feeling symptoms.
