hi there. Not sure where to post this; mods feel free to move it.

I was trying to come up with a name for the current decade, but i couldn't. So i thought about the next decade instead, and came up with 'Twenteens' - as in, the Twenty-Teens (2010 - 2019).
Ok so it doesn't describe 2010, 2011 and 2012 but it does 2013 to 2019 so it's close enough right?

cheers,
rowan

or maybe just 'The Tweens' for a short version

This decade from 2001 to 2010; I will call the Decade of Crisis.

@rowan phil,
I thought this would be about 20-29 year-olds who act like teenagers. That's something I can relate to.

Like, the naming concept for -teens is basically what you would call a multiple of ten for that number with -een instead of -y. Except for 3 (thir) and 5 (fif), 4/6/7/8/9 are all just with a suffix added.

So basically 20=tenteen, 21=eleventeen, 22=twelveteen. This makes a full 10-year span. It may need to end at 23 though, because it'd have to be thirteenteen and that's just ugly. Unless you cant to call it Bakerteen. I suppose 24 could be 'Tweekteen'.
