No, but that's what MTV, VH1 and the other so called music channels would have you believe.

Where did you hear that anyway?

It was in my local newspaper a day or two ago and then I saw it called that here.

I just call it the O's

That's right, O's, not Zeros. But the O's. Sometimes the O-O's. Noughties sounds gay. It's gonna be easy afterwards. Tens. Twenties etc..


Also I've become more used to saying it like "Twenty Ten" instead of "Two thousand and ten" mainly because everyone always says "Twenty Twelve" instead of "Two Thousand and twelve" when talking about the olympics/apocalypse

Oh right, well I can't speak for what mainland Euro's call it, but I've never heard anyone real refer to this decade as "The Noughties"and if they did I'm confident if nobody gave them a stiff forearm smash to the face they'd do it to themselves out of shame.

No shit, but things changed for awhile when the 2000's rolled along.

Wait. That was because we still say two-thousand and 3 when it's < 2010.

The Two Thousands sounds the best. Kind of like The 1900s.

2010-2019 would be the Twenty Tens, 2020-2029 would be the Twenty Twenties, etc.

It's a term I've heard used by the media. Never by real people.

I just avoid referring to any year from this past decade by name.
