What is the next decade called?

lisajane

Were almost finished the naughties and just wondering what the next decade will be called.

The tens? The teens? They don't sound right. What is it?

Me, I've never called this decade the naughties but I know what you mean. Doesn't matter we are all dead in a couple of years anyway. Damn Mayans!

TheZohanS

Tens.

Scorpion Sting

The teens.

2000 - 2019 will be known as "The Early 21st Century" or "The turn of the century".

What do you call the decade 1910 - 1919, for example?

Twin-go

the twentyteens?

That_Guy

We call it the Jedwardian times.

Proper reply:
1920's called the twenties.
1930's called the thirties.
1940's called the fourties.

So....2010-2019 will be the tens.

AH reply: Tenties. That sounds cool.

wudangclan

Call it what you want.
It's a decade,it can't hear you.

Wazdakka

I think it'll be called "The Deca's"

Sounds way better than "The Tens"

bluto63

Can't call it the teens, because not every year in it will be a 'teen'. So it has to be the tens

CliffHuxtabel

It will be called the 2010's

Obviously the tens.

This decade is the zeros.

You Suck!

It's called the future, please wait at least ten years before releasing shit tv shows with cunts we don't even recognise from the arse end of celebrity giving us their worthless opinion about shit music and idiots we didn't care about from a decade we never cared to name until it became saleable to complete and utter idiots with a drunkin nostalgia fetish!

I'm just happy that we can go back to calling years twenty ten and twenty eleven instead of this two thousand and nine nonsense.

perhaps we should alll just forget about the years 2010 to 2019 and hope that by 2020 (I cant wait for the twentys) we can all come out of the places we choose to hide from the dreaded recession monster

We can't forget about them. I want time to stop and never reach 2020. I'l be almost 40 by then. Scary!

No because Tenty is one hundred!
If we're calling this the noughties then 2010-19 should be the oneties or something...

KTRIC

You can call it what you want. I'll be flying around in my hover car eating protein pills in January, so I won't be able to hear you.

'noughties' irritates the crap out of me. Just because everything except 00 and 10 has 'ty' at the end, doesn't mean they should too. 1900-1909 were just called the 1900s so the 2000s would be appropriate. And who outside the UK says nought anyway?

As for 2010-2019, I don't know. Tens sounds weird but even the thought of seeing 10 on a number plate just seems weird. I guess it's because every other year has been said in two words "ninety five, zero nine, etc." where as this is just ten, eleven, twelve and so on. 1910-1919 was just called the 1910s after all.

who the hell is calling it the Naughties? you cant name a decade till its already happened, like the swingin' 60s. We wont have a second swingin' 60s - unless I have a very good retirement.

That_Guy

Why don't we call it "I can't believe it's not the 90's"

BBC

A leading Australian website has tried to solve the problem of what to call the next decade - by holding a competition to name it.

The winning choice of the One-ders earned Adam Vujic a prize of 2,010 Australian dollars ($1,866; £1,122).

More obvious choices such as Tennies, Tenties or Teenies were rejected because "they were so popular they had to be discounted".

The website said the winning name expressed "bright-eyed optimism".

"We needed something that communicated a feeling, not just denoted a number," said the website.

But one unimpressed contributor, who gave his name as Kevin Longfellow, asked: "Is this decision binding on the whole world?"

Observers say the debate over what to call the 2010s mirrors problems with the current decade, which has never had a universally accepted name.

And wtf is "they were so popular they had to be discounted" about?
