What's this decade gonna be called?

[ProfessorLayton]

The twenty-tens. It doesn't really matter, though.

 

[orangeapples]

We had the eighty's, the ninety's, the ought's but whats coming next?

What do you think we should name the next decade?

I'm confused, you're asking two different questions.

the topic is asking about "this" decade, and your post is asking about the "next" decade.

Well, for "this" decade, I'm going with "well, that decade sucked" decade. As for the "next" decade, let me get in my time machine and ask someone from 1023.

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle, no one in the Americas spoke English. At least I got back with this spiffy raccoon skin hat. OMG it's NOT DEAD!!!!!

2000-2009: The "horrible oughts"
2010-2019: The "terrible/teriffic teens/tens", depending on how it turns out.

What the hell is the oughts?

Why wouldn't we call 2010 the tens? Will people somehow get confused and think we're talking about the 1910s? Isnt "nineties" always the last nineties to exist, therefore the 1990s and never confused with the 1890s? Aren't these naming conventions already figured out rendering this entire thread pointless?

I'm confused.

The ought's are what they called 2000 to present. and we didn't have a previous name for the 1910s. We started naming them with "the roaring 20s" but a XX10s hasn't been giving a stylish name yet.

The tens.

Can I get a /thread up in here?

 

[Daveman]

yeah,I like tenzies... though the one thing I think we can all draw from this is that fuck all is going to happen in the next ten years because of this dilemma.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I shall call it: Shitty depressing fuckfest.

 

[Kasawd]

I like the double O suggestion.

I would, however, like to add another 0 to it. after all ,we'll only see so many triple "Get"'s in our lifetime!

 

[Bonecrusher]

The "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn-ies".

[The_ModeRazor]

The decade the world ended.
As in, complete existence failure.

 

[George Palmer]

We should call it "Sebastian". Obviously.

 

[ddon]

the creation of online gaming decade. not good with naming things.

 

[cheese_wizington]

The fail.

 

[VGStrife]

The ten-ties

 

[Disaster Button]

The "HOLY SHIT, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" decade.

I'm optimistic, see?

This has a really nice ring to it, sort of like Chlamydia. I like it.

 

[robman1130]

The fail.

[Soxafloppin]
