Yes, the others were correct - my old mother (from the north-west of England) always used it, and she thought zero was a silly word.

It's a way of saying zero.
Some people are calling this decade the Aughts (ought is a different word entirely), as calling it the Zeros sounds weird.

"ought" (also, variously aught, nought, naught) simply means "oh" or "zero".
