I'm finally getting caught up on old Podshock episodes (one of the reasons I haven't been posting...sorry, Dave), and I cracked up when I heard James refer to the eighties, the nineties, and the naughties. I'd never heard that before, but I think I'm going to start using it.
It gives new mean to the term, "the naughty bits." |

I'm going "Full Circle" and putting my avatar back to what it was when I first joined. :)

I guess you weren't around at the start of the twentieth century... This happens every hundred years. |

The first time I heard the expression was actually by a German football journalist, talking the differing fortunes of his national team throughout the various decades. He mentioned the "naughties" and I put it down to a non English speaking person making a fair enough assumption of the English language (and it did make me laugh).
Since then I've heard it used as an expression a few times and it still strikes me as odd. |

It makes sense I mean there has to be a word for the first 10 years of a century.
Though I always called it the 2000s, but that doesn't really compute either.
Naught or nought an alternate word for zero, that or the Nillies!

The twenties and thirties will be OK - but what about the '10's' - what are they called?
Cheers, daveac

Yes - but although you can say 'twenties' and 'thirties' how can you say 'tenies'????

I was really hoping "the aughts" would catch on... as in "Aught Six" for 2006 (or nineteen aught six, as they tend to say in Westerns).
oh well, I can do "naughties" |

| The first 10 years of the 20th century were known as "the naughty oughts", I believe... |
|
Did you say "74,384,338 to 1 against"? That's my lucky number!

Ok, I suppose that should be "aughts". |
