So past references were kinda easy 50s 60s 70s 80s etc ( you get the point) ...what the heck are we going to refer to the first decade of 2k?

 

Ideas?

 

The singles ? because of the single digits?

The Zeros? doesnt sound like much happened in ten years

The Aughts ? reference to the 0 in front of every year

or as my son suggested The Ohs ? Oh 1... oh 2... oh 3...etc

 

What do you think?

 

I think im leaning toward "The OHs"

Around the turn of "the" century? Isn't that what they say for any of the years around 1900? Sometimes the early 1900's is often heard. Don't know what this past decade has been coined yet but I guess we'll hear some phrase soon to describe our first years of this century. Maybe the recession years or decade?

The years that corporate big wigs destroyed their companies.

 

Close Tybo, but how 'bout the "beginning of the end"?

I know that it's a bit dark, but it is honestly the decade where off-shoring, out-sourcing and down-sizing, actually showed itself in a decline in our lifestyle (and it's got nothing to do with the mortgage crunch, people can pay mortgages when they have jobs). And to get even darker, it's not coming back.

Aren't I a hoot? I can't imagine why my wife's depressed :dunno:

I like that K... but I would go one further and call it the turn of the millenium!

 

I don't think anyone can argue that the first 10 yrs. of a millenium isn't the turn of one. :P

 

I agree. Turn of the millenium is perfect.
