naughts
They mean nothing
Naughts is the plural of naught, meaning zeros or nothing.
In arithmetic, naughts are the digit 0: The number had three naughts at the end.
The game tic-tac-toe is called noughts and crosses in British English, where one player marks Os (noughts) and the other Xs.
Naught also means nothing at all: All their efforts came to naught.
