I was just starting a thread in Culture when I realized that I don't know the appropriate name for the decade which is about to end in a few months.

The oughts?
The 2Ks?
The zeroes?

What is this decade going to be known as we move on to the 2Kteens?

I would put a 1 in front of each, but I'm open to ideas if you have a better one.

Um like: -

one one
one two
one three???

Sounds a bit odd doesn't it Phlab?

How about just: -
'Eleven'
'Twelve' etc

Those are 'Teens'.

I prefer 'The Onesies'.

Since it's the first decade of the new millennium, let's call it The Prime Decade.
