0's
Empty value digits
The 0's (also written 00s or aughts) refers to the decade from 2000 to 2009: I graduated in the 0's.
The term never achieved the easy familiarity of "the eighties" or "the nineties"—speakers still fumble for what to call that decade.
As a plural, 0's can also mean multiple instances of the digit zero: The password has three 0's in it.
