nothing at all

"Pepino" in "no sé un pepino", "no entiendo un pepino", etc. means "nothing at all"; it sounds like the author's paraphrasing Aristotle's (I think) claim "all I know is that I know nothing. Is it perchance an Argentine author?

I have no idea about that

Es una expresión demasiado coloquial. Es posible que exista una correspondencia en español, pero la desconozco. Creo que la respuesta más adecuada sería la que te señalo.

¡Suerte!

... but I don't know a word!

"un pepino" is an argentinism for "nothing at all".

"I've studied a lot but I don't know a word of it!"
