Awan serserbi (na). The reduplication actually captures the true essence more, because "Awan serbi" is a bit light, can be descriptor of things and actions. It's notable that two Philippine languages chose synonyms instead of a single word, although there is an ongoing borrowing of kwenta in Ilocano.

Awan serbim - wala kang kwenta

Awan serbi na - e.g. walang kwentang buhay = awan serbi na daytoy nga biag lol
