The turn of the millenium or the turn of the century would be appropriate.

That's what I call it when I have to call it anything. The 00s for short, but not pronounced like anything. Sorta like Prince's symbol.

MysticCat, if you ever knowingly and verbally called this decade "Aughties, the Noughties, the Naughty Aughties, or the Haughty Aughties" I think I might have to revoke your secret Senusret I's "cool older brother or very young father" card.

(I don't know/remember your real age so I can't tell which one you'd be.)

At any rate, stop the madness.

Would you say it out loud as "The decade formerly known as 2000s"?

Don't worry -- I've only used the Aughties a few times, and then I was beeing sarcastic. Very sarcastic. I've seen or heard all of these, though.

Let's just say older brother and the madness will be stopped.
