Your Name for the Past Decade? 00’s = Uh-Oh’s!?
EmailWhat to name the decade that is now coming to pass?
There was of course the “Roaring Twenties”, the “Go-go Eighties”, and the “Disco Seventies”. Some point out there was the “Swingin’ Sixties” and the “Flying Forties” too.
But what about the 2000’s?

The double or nothing decade – which does not end, by the way, until the end of 2010. That’s what happens when you don’t start a numerical sequence with “0″.

Why do we need a name for such a sad one, Kast time it was “turn of the Century” to my GD’s, we could have “Bushed decade” or “Ozone oh’s” but what’s in a name? so “rosey o’s”. If we have the time to answer this silly question the times must be Rosey.

The Decade does not end until NEXT year! Just like the change of Century actually occurred at the 2000->2001 transition, not the 1999->2000 one. This is because there is no “year zero”, so counts go 1-10, 11-20 … 91-100, etc.
But if we really MUST be incorrect about this, call it the “Lost Decade”. The damage done by George Bush and the GOP simply destroyed all the progress of the previous 7-8 years, and provided NOTHING in return but enormous division in our nation and loss of respect around the world. It became a HUGE waste right up until the historic election of Barack Obama last year.

The Oops Decade – we had so many “oopses,” especially in politics.

They forgot to mention the “Nifty Fifties”. I do like “tortured 2000′s”, “topsy-turvy 2000′s”, “naughts of oughts “, “naughty oughties”,

“Terror’s Oh’s”, “terrible 2000′s,
“woh’Zone’s” are comical. Reality also holds that multiplicity being ratified by a physical number, regardless in the case of our life in years not ceasing for an ought period of time based on evidential fact and figures inclusion of them in as % of volume (partial) increase transacting to the summation. Or we’d cease to exist into cosmic dust.
