The Americans will pronounce it "the twen-ees" - of course.

It will be nice to have a proper name for our decade after almost 20 years, won't it?

Will they be "Roaring" like the last ones?

You're funny, op.

I remember saying, "omg it's the 80's!"

Then, "wow, can you believe it's the 90's already?"

And finally, "It's the year 2000! Did you ever think we'd make it this far??"

Now, it's like... meh. I feel like we're going backwards, not forward.

Gurl, I remember the grown-ups talking about the '60s coming to an end "Can you believe the '60s are almost over?"

& I remember my mother saying "The 80s are going to be YOUR decade" because I was 16...people thought they'd be so much better than the 70s. How little they knew.

Well, the 1990s were hardly "gay," were they?

The Village People of all people to sing "I'm ready for the 80s" - no one could have imagined.

No they were quite the opposite.

When was the last time a decade had a name? The "Swinging Sixties" was an English thing, wasn't it - the Americans didn't talk about "the swinging 60s" did they?

For DL denizens, they will be "The Whoring Twenties."

They tried to call The 70s "The Me Decade" - but it was all a bit New York and smarmy, probably Tom Wolfe.

Well, "The Americans" won't be calling you "Hunny," O'Pee. We'll be calling you HUNTY. Better?

I predict there will be flying cars.

There are already flying cars, they are just too expensive to be practical.
