The mediagenic artists of the oughties, as the current decade is sometimes called, are often women.

First, "Oughties" sounds quaint; second, the very word comes from a silly error in verbal juncture.

We will NEVER forget the oughties and the naughty Republicans that colored that decade red.

Various proposals have surfaced: the Oughts, the Naughts, the Oughties, the Naughties, the Zeros, the Zips, the Ohs, the Ooze, or perhaps the Preteens.

A service known as VIAPAQ Courier was indeed present for a time during the oughties, and offered from conveniently located stations in cities along the Ocean and Corridor routes, station-to-station transportation of small packages and envelopes.

JUST a couple of years ago in the early Oughties, the fashion world developed a big blue crush on four super-cute beach boys in their mid-20s (Jeff Halmos, Sam Shipley, Josia Lamberto-Egan and John Whitledge) and their surf-inspired clothing line, Trovata.
