"Nonsense" in Tunisian Arabic

In Tunisian Arabic, "Nonsense" (the noun) is written using the Latin script as:

(m) Klem feragh (Klem feragh)

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

كلام فارغ (m)

(Editor's note: Klem means "Talk" as a noun and Feragh means "Empty". So a direct translation for this in English is "Empty talk".)
