Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, Nineties: 2000-2009 Odyssey

So, what should we call the decade of 2000 to 2009? The decade is almost over I guess, so maybe a more important question is what we should call 2010-2019, and subsequently, what we should of called 1910-1919.

I've always been fond of calling them the "aught" years...or we could go Megaman and call them the XX (pronounced X-dy X) years...but I guess that's really more of a Stinko Man kind of thing...

Aught as a noun means nothing, i.e. zero, as well. twenty-aught-seven
