"Almost?"

Well. Sub-zero is a range. 0K, or absolute zero, is sub 0°C. So sub zero can be equal to absolute zero in one instance of the range.

I think they're making a Kelvin joke.

What about relative zero?

relative zero is an even number! There I said it, and I don't care what any of you think of me.

This lead me to wondering: Do the Fahrenheit people talk about sub-zero as well?!
I had never thought of that possibility. 0 degrees is just generally cold, but -17,778 degrees is already in the area of "seriously cold".
