zilches
Amounts of nil
Zilches is the plural of zilch, meaning multiple instances of nothing or zero.
The word is informal and emphatic, used when regular "nothings" feels too weak: I checked all my accounts—zilches across the board.
Like zilch itself, it's often used for comic effect to stress complete absence or failure.
