not worth hell room (not comparable)

  1. (US, slang, idiomatic, dated) worthless
    • 1923, George Washington Ogden, “Chapter 2”, in The Baron of Diamond Tail:
      "I'm not sayin' you don't, mister," the other returned, mild and unruffled, but with a firmness that surprised Dan. "You asked me for my opinion on that beast's eyes, and I gave it to you."
      "It ain't worth hell room!" the contentious man declared, glaring in bristling ferocity on the sailor.
