Literally yes, but coloquially it means awkward, not quite right, uncool!

"Naff all" simply means "nothing at all" (but in a nasty way.)

From the dictionary of slang :

naff Adj. 1. Rubbishy, useless, of poor quality. [1960s]
2. Unfashionable. [1960s]

The only time I ever hear anyone, including myself, saying it is when impersonating the Royal Family. (Now, if only I was any good at typing phonetics, I could teach the whole world how to do a Princess Anne impression.)

What about when making references to 'Porridge'? I thought that was how it entered (somewhat) popular usage.
