Ten Things Tuesday- Zero Words

We say zero in different ways.
So, since we are at Z in the A-Z blogging challenge and it is a Tuesday I am going to list ten different ways of saying or using zero.

1. O
     I don't know if this is because the number 0 looks like an O or because O is the last letter in the word zero and it is a short way of saying it.
It's a quandary.

2. Zilch

3. Nada

4. Blast-off!
     When you count down to zero, you never just say zero. You just don't.  After one, comes blast-off.

5. Mute
     When you turn the sound down so far you can't hear it, the TV says mute.

6. Operator
     Remember when you could dial 0 and ask the time? They weren't fond of small children that did that repeatedly.

7. Time
     Military time is set on the 24 hour clock. O 8 hundred is 8:00 am . Zero Dark Thirty means really early in the morning.

8. None

9. Months or weeks
     Ever notice how you stay one year until your next birthday, but babies are never 0. They are hours, days, weeks, or months old. Unless you are filing taxes and than they can be 0.

10. Witching hour
     Apparently someone decided midnight or 0 hour was the time when the witches, demons, and ghosts come out to play. No one told my ghost that. She comes out to play whenever she feels like it.

Have a great Tuesday!

Zero and Zilch With a Side of Peppers and Petty

 Well, I have come to my very last post in the A-Z challenge.

So, this means I have ZERO posts left to write according to a letter schedule.
Yay!

Zero
Zilch
Nada

Some of the days were kinda tough, but it did make me use my imagination.
Some days it worked well.
Other days, maybe not so much.

I would like to leave this post by sharing with you a couple of my favorite musical artists.

The first is by the Red Hot Chili Peppers- The Zephyr Song. It's one of their more mellow songs.

The second is Tom Petty- Zombie Zoo. I couldn't find an actual video of the song, but it's a great song and worth a listen.
