bupkes

Bupkes, from Yiddish, means absolutely nothing or something worthless and insignificant.

It often appears in expressions of frustration or disappointment when someone receives far less than expected or nothing at all: I worked on that project for six months and got bupkes in return.

The word carries a dismissive, emphatic quality that "nothing" alone doesn't quite convey.

Variant spellings include bupkis and bubkes.
