So what decade is this? I mean, what do we call it? The last one I knew a name for was "the Nineties" and that was ten years ago. Some people have tried to call this decade "the Aughts" like back a hundred years ago, when people called 1905 "Nineteen aught-five".

I only ask this because last night Liz and I were talking, and I mentioned the soon-to-be 2000-and-teens. I pondered aloud, will those be the "Twenty-teens"?

But what about 2010, 2011 and 2012, I asked her, do we still call those the "Twenty-teens"?

"No," she said, "I think those will be the 'Twenty-tweens'."

Oh, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers would be so proud ...
