Ули, так и напиши ass, а то могут подумать что-нибудь похуже...
ни в зуб ногой
to be clueless
to not know shit from Shinola
to not know one’s ass from a hole in the ground
to not know xxx from a hole in the ground
to know absolutely nothing; not to know beans about; not to have a clue
not to know beans;
not to know chalk from cheese

This xxx can be anything: he doesn’t know physics/English/a good woman/a great opportunity... from a hole in the ground
Thanks.
This definitely needed clarification, as the original expression is about 'ass' and it hardly makes any (literal) sense after substitution.
And 'xxx' is sort of ambiguous.
