The Japanese have a word, ' mucha ', which can be roughly translated to mean a thing or a situation which is 'unworkable', 'pointless', 'worthless', 'meaningless', 'no good', or 'hopeless', depending on context. Directly translated, it means 'no tea'. Man, I could really go for some tea right now.
Anything, everything, and nothing at all for years at a time.
