I am surprised to know that in South Africa they call this the Os and Xs. I think we don't have Filipino word for this game so we call it like the US and Singapore do - tic-tac-toe. On the other hand, Australians call this as Noughts and Crosses.
Noughts meaning nothing
Crosses are the Xs.
I also learned that there is a TV series called the same - Noughts and Crosses.

I did not know that tic tac toe has different names around the world. Much less a television show has that name.
