What do you call this decade?
 

As it's coming to an end I'm wondering how will we look back on the decade 2000 to 2010 and what we will call it..After all in the past we referred to the 20s,30s,40s and so on..easy peasy...But what can you use to quickly refer to the first two decades of the 21st century? :erm:

The teens?

the noughties?

the best forgotten years?

00s?

Re: What do you call this decade?
 

and what will people call the future years? for example, so far this century, the most common referal the the years has begun with "two thousand and...", but come 2010 will it become more commonplace to say "twenty-ten", or will it remain as "two thousand and ten"?

place your bets please...

The noughties sounds alright. I'm not too sure about the tenties though...

Re: What do you call this decade?
 

I would never say twenty-ten. two thousand and ten FTW!!
