The phrase "a no good" is not standard in written English and may be considered incorrect.
It is typically used informally to describe someone or something that is worthless or of poor quality, but it is more common to see "no-good" as a compound adjective.
Example: "He is a no-good liar who can't be trusted."
Alternatives: "worthless" or "good-for-nothing".
