nowt

Not a thing

Nowt is British dialect, especially Northern English, for nothing: There's nowt wrong with that, You get nowt for nowt.

The word rhymes with "out" and appears in expressions like nowt to do with me and the Yorkshire saying there's nowt so queer as folk—nothing is stranger than people.
