The word "noughter" is a rare term used to refer to someone or something that is worthless or insignificant. Its spelling follows the traditional British English pronunciation system, where "ough" can be pronounced as /ɔː/ (as in "bought"), /ʌf/ (as in "rough"), /əʊ/ (as in "so"), or /oʊ/ (as in "dough"). In the case of "noughter," it is pronounced as /nɔːtə/, with the "nought" part sounding like the word "not." Despite its infrequent usage, "noughter" provides a vivid and expressive way to describe something that is of little value.
