No Word...

The other day I was thinking about this past decade and trying to think about what characterized it when I realize that we do not have a name for it. There is a gap in the English language as to what to call it. Yes we are in the 21st century, but that is for the whole century, not just the first 10 years of it. You could say the early 2000’s but that is pretty vague and does not precisely define the decade.

It has been a pretty bad decade with 9/11 and the financial melt down, but it at least deserves a name. What could it be, the zeros? Or better yet the zippy zeros, but that would be a lie. There has been nothing too zippy about it unless you called the sky rocketing real estate prices zipping up between 2000 and 2006 but finally crashing and burning as the decade slides to a close.

It could be the double 0’s, but that sound more like a cup size. How about the 00's? “Back in the 00’s when I was selling real estate in Key West….” How about the preteens? Well it just sounds like the whole population advancing on puberty together.

Now that we're confused enough about what to call this decade we are quickly advancing on the next decade. The “teens”?????
