   From Google:   
   The phrase "good for nothing" originated in the early 1600s, appearing in   
   written form in texts from that period. It was formed by compounding the words   
   "good" and "nothing," with the literal meaning of being "good for no purpose"   
   or "useless". The concept of being useless was also explored in older   
   societies, where value was measured by contributions to a community.
