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 2: I dunno.. fancy a game of Noughties?
Guy 1: Ok, i'll time you!
The current decade, between the years 2000 and 2010. In English, (most often British English), "ought" can mean "zero", thus the "oughties". This is used in lieu of zero, because "zeroties" sounds awkward. Unlike with the "eighties", the "nineties" and so on, there is no one name for the current decade enjoying wide usage.
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 Britishway 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!"
