oughties

The common pronouncement and name for the current decade, the '00s. The 'Oughties' was created out of the word "ought" which is an old-fashioned or British way of saying "zero".

"Forget the '80s and '90s, this is the decade and time for everything that Ought to be..these are the naughty OUGHTIES!"

oughting

'Oughts

To perform a ridiculous act, with a considerable chance of long term injury as a result. Can also be refered to as 'typical 'Oughts', when a stupid act is repeated, or is extremely predictable.

man 1: so what did you get up to at the weekend?

man 2: well, i set off a firework from my arse, but I over clenched, and gripped the rocket too tight. I badly burnt the cheeks of my arse. Luckily a pal tenderly applied coolent to my posterior. If I hadn't had that crate of super tennents it would have hurt so much i'd have had to stop drinking!

man 1:typical 'oughts!
