Stephen H., I heart you. Personally, I’m voting for “Pubies.” It just has that ring.

I think 00-09 is referred to as the “naughties,” not because we all drank too much, but because the zero in each year (01,02, etc) equates with “naught.”

Using other synonyms for “zero” yields even more possible nicknames for this decade: zippies, zilchies, nonesies, zeroski’s (accent on the “o,” as in zerOskis), pilates, knunchuks, kublai-kahn, etc.

As for this decade, we should look to the nicknames given to teenage human beings for guidance. Of course, there’s “the teens,” but we could also go with “adoles-ties,” “pubies,” “young-adulties,” “akwardsies,” and of course, “slutties.”

Cheersies!

Um, my roommate and I also got sucked into watching. I was on TVGuide.com looking for something to watch because we aren’t fancy enough to have an actual guide on our teevee, and the banner was like WATCH THE BACHELOR TONIGHT. And we were like, okay. Next thing we knew, we were crying/laughing and my roommate was plugging her ears (literally) at some of the comments. It’s so bad. So bad. But so amazing.
