くだらない! (kudaranai)

When you feel something is stupid, you would say “くだらない!”. Sayin only “くだらない!” is too strong, so you might want to say “くだらないよ!”, “くだらないね!” and “くだらなねぇ!(only for men)” that is the pretty negative meaning. However, if you laugh at what someone said in saying it, that would be the positive meaning, even if it is stupid.
