There isn’t much need for it now, because it’s easy to do a write-around like “the current decade.” But calling it the oughts hasn’t really caught on, and in 2010 we’ll need a name for what we’ve finished. It occurred to me a few days ago that the name might be the uh-ohs.
One thought on “The uh-ohs”

I too thought "the oughts" were a splendid opportunity for a charming noun to renominate itself, but find no concurrence in the infotainment world.
"The Uh-Ohs", however, happily exceeds its own meaning. I vote for it twice.
