so I have wondered for some time about what to name the times that we live in. with decades in the twentieth century it was p easy, but now that the nineties are over it is kind of difficult without it sounding dumb

i hear people call 2000-09 the aughts, but that doesn't sound right. "the zeros" sound dumb too.

I have no idea at all for our current decade

what are your thoughts, gbs?

The aughts are correct and just because it arbitrarily doesn't sound right to you doesn't change that

perhaps but it sounds like "you aughta do better"

The Awful Aughts would be good but it's self-promoting

The Aughta Von Bismarcks would be p funny

Well, it was the 1900's then the 1910's, then the 20's, 30's etc.

So I guess like that again.
