Words for 0

Post by Stewart Gordon »

On today's show we were given
  • nil
  • nought
  • O
  • zero
What others can people here think of?

I've thought of a handful more, but I'll see what other people come up with first.

I keep meaning to continue my activity on this thread!

A few I thought of that nobody's mentioned:
  • cipher (though I'm not sure who uses this or in what context)
  • no
  • duck egg
Have I missed any?
