Is it true you Europeans call this decade the noughties?
Looks like it
Yeah, but only after it's almost over...
Sounds fucking stupid tbh.

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

derp.
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.ceslayer23 wrote:

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

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

Call it the double aught's or #00.

i think the noughties sounds very cheeky and shows how modern life is
I haven't ever had to refer to our time in this way, yet.
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.
2010-2019 would be the Twenty Tens, 2020-2029 would be the Twenty Twenties, etc.
Who fucking cares, they're call this next decade the "One-ders".
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.
