Wikipedia, July 28, 2011: under 2000s (decade) (The 2000s was a decade that started on January 1, 2000 and ended on December 31, 2009; it was the decade in which the 21st century and 3rd millennium began) under Names for the decade (On January 1, 2000, the BBC listed "the noughties", derived from "nought" a word used for zero in many English-speaking countries, as a potential moniker for the new decade; the "noughties" is a play on words on "naughty"--bad behaviour, and "nought" an English word meaning nothing, or zero; the excesses of the decade are so succinctly expressed by the word, that it has become the only term for the decade in common use in the UK) |
