The origin of the proverb "not worth a brass farthing" dates back to the 16th century in England. A "farthing" was a small coin, valued at a quarter of a penny. The phrase was originally used to indicate something of very little value, as a brass farthing was a coin considered to be of minimal worth. Over time, the proverb became a way to express that something or someone was considered practically worthless. It serves as a blunt way to emphasize the lack of value in an object, idea, or person.
