Hey, I don’t know how I found this site. o.0 (browsing google)
Anyway I’m a native speaker of American English (and Japanese), but I notice one thing that sounds funny to me.
I have never heard of the expression “nothing on” as in the way it is used. The expression we use is “nothing going on.”
Ex. “Yo, Kaito, what’s up? You free tonight?” Me: “Yeah, I have nothing going on, so…”
I think it should be “nothing going on” unless of course maybe “nothing on” is some dialect.

Hi Kaito
Thanks for the comment and in answer to your question, ‘nothing on’ is a British English expression, though after checking with some of my American friends they seem to be familiar with both ‘nothing on’ and ‘nothing going on’. They both mean you’re free or have nothing to do.
Hope this helps. Thanks a lot for taking the time to write. I appreciate your interest in my site.
