Noughteens 

The decade after the Noughties, but before the 2020's

People talk about the 70s, 80s, 90s & noughties, but people often glaze over mentally when they cannot properly describe the 10 years after the noughties.
Sam: How long have you known that female superstar DJ bruv? Do you go way back?
James: Ages mate. Well not since 1990longtime, but well, we met sometime in the mid noughteens bruv. So, like 10 years now....

the noughties 

Disappointing sequel to the nineties and preview of how bad the 21st century was going to be.
The noughties was when 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the 2008 recession happened. What an awful decade! Thank God it's over.

Noughties 

A game you can play with your Sky remote.

You may have noticed, if you press the '0' button on your remote it will appear, as if you intend to change the channel for approximately 10 seconds before disappearing.
If you press the '0' button four times in a row, a red error message will occur that reads 'Channel Unavailable'.
Well, in the art of Noughties, the aim is to make this message occur in the longest time possible, i.e. wait as long as possible before pressing the next '0' without the previous '0' disappearing and continue this until the message occurs.

The maximum possible time is 30 seconds.
Guy 1: Mann this shit is boring, why are we even watching it?

Guy 1: Ok, i'll time you!

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
