Actually it means "nothing".

Magicians use it a lot. Put the scarf over the hand holding the dove, pull the scarf away, and Walla, "nothing".

The spelling is different but the pronunciation is the same in Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines.

I keep trying it. After the bird flies away I've still got a feather or two and something I really didn't need right now.
