The last decade- what do we call it?

I was having a conversation with my aunt this morning and came to the point to say something about the last decade but I couldn't think of the right word which was the best to call the last decade. I looked this up when I got back to my apartment and couldn't find an exact label for it. I found so many different names such as the naughts, turn of the century, the ohs, the two-thousands, the oughts, and a few others. I personally think all these names are not good. I think something like twenty zeros (0's) would be a decent fit as it keeps along with the traditional 20's, 30's, 40's ... What do you guys think about this and is it even worth labeling a decade? If not, then are we to reflect something that took place during those years?

Edit: I'm talking about the years between 2000 to 2009.

The naughties. Also, it took you an entire year to think of this?kamikaze_pigmy

I never thought about it until it came up in the conversation today.

The Oughts.

The Oughts.

I was talking about the year 2000 to 2009. Not this decade. :P

[QUOTE="no_more_fayth"]

[QUOTE="svenus97"] But this decade started on January 1st 2011.flordeceres

It started on January 1st, 2010.

no, it didn't.

yes it did. I suppose the 90's went into December 31 2000 too then?

Let's just call it the pwn age.

The 00s. (pronounced "O's")

I have thought about this on more than one occasion.

no, it didn't.

I suppose the 90's went into December 31 2000 too then?

yeah, it kind of did. there is no year '0'. the gregorian calendar started counting from year 1 A.C, following 1 B.C.

The first decade was a year short then.:x

A decade is ten years.

2000 (1), 2001 (2), 2002 (3), 2003 (4), 2004 (5), 2005 (6), 2006 (7), 2007 ( 8 ), 2008 (9), and 2009 (10).

I'm right. :)

I usually just say the thousands. >__>;Aquat1cF1sh

what about lets say the years 1910-1919, do we call them the 10's? sounds wierdblurguy6

It sure does sound weird because it doesn't end in ties such in the fifties, sixties, and so on but it surely is the next best thing.

Yeah, I'm already stalking up on alcohol so when they ban it I'll be a millionaire.

the 2000s?

I think just Os (pronouced OHs), because that's what we shorten the years to I.E. 01, 02, 03, 04, etc

A decade is ten years.

So 1AD, 2AD, 3AD, 4AD, 5AD, 6AD, 7AD, 8AD, and 9AD is a decade? Remember now that a decade is 10 years.

Let's just call it the pwn age.

Final year of BCE (B.C.) would count I guess.

Crap.

A decade that will live in infamy. :P

I refer to it as the O's

The decade where s*** hit the fan!
