Subject: InTheWhat?

Written By: philbo_baggins on 05/23/02 at 10:33 a.m.

Just a thought on how to pronounce "inthe00s" - I mean, inthe80s is obviously "in the eighties", but "inthe00s"...

Could be "in the oh-oh's"...but that starts sounding like Scooby Doo
Could be "in the zeros"...but that sounds a bit silly
...as with "in the nothings"
So I've settled on "in the ooze" as the way I refer to this site ;-)

I pronouce it like Jethro Bodine, i. e. "double nought."  If you ever watched The Beverly Hillbillies, in some episodes, he dreamt of being a "double-nought spy," like James Bond, 007.

I call it "In the noughties", like the uninspired person like I am.

I have always considered there was no other choice, once '00' came along.

I'd have to say "in the double zeroes".  In the "oh oh's" is incorrect grammar.  An "O" (oh) is a letter, a "0" (zero) is a number.
