What shall we call this decade? The twenty's to the ninety's all worked well, but I haven't heard a plausible, tongue-friendly word for right now. The oh-oh's doesn't really have a ring to it, and the double-aughts implies a license to kill. I am at a loss.

I want to die in my sleep, like my grandpa; not yelling and screaming, like his passengers.

You and the rest of us, Bobby! Welcome to you.
Surely some word maven somewhere will come up
with something.

Logically, it seems to me that this would be the "ones"
decade, if the teens are the teens, and the twenties are the twenties, etc. But I don't think that will catch on.

Hasn't the obvious word Noughties (pronounced, of course, Naughties) caught on outside Australia, then?

Didn't it use to be the case that e.g. 1800s meant the first decade of the century? At some point when I wasn't looking it suddenly shifted to mean the whole century. If we go back to the earlier usage we would call the first decade of the 21st century the 2000s (two thousands or twenty hundreds according to taste).
