Also “NOUN NOUN してる”. It usually contains a negative meaning (but not always). Due to the flexibility, this expression is not commonly registered in a dictionary (and it’s even hard to google it). Another example of such an expression is ABCのAの字もない.
Note that this is a slang expression and some Japanese people (esp. old generations) may not understand it.
