In This Economy?

2010 has arrived. And with it comes a whole new set of issues that threaten the world.

Economic issues? Nah.

Issues of global war? Nope.

Issues about the eventual destruction of our environment? No.

2012 eve eve issues? NO SIR!

The issues I’m talking about revolve around what to call this new year. Is it “twenty-ten” or “two thousand and ten”? Maybe it’s “oh ten” or “ought one zero”. WHAT IS IT? WHAT DO WE CALL THIS NEW, FUTURISTIC-SOUNDING YEAR??!

Let’s just compile a list and see what sticks. Here goes:

The Ultimate List of 2010 Nicknames

• Twenty-Ten
• Two Thousand and Ten
• Oh Ten
• Ought One Zero
• The Dime
• Dime Time
• Tony Ten
• The Jacko Ham (Think about money on these next couple. The $20 bill has who on it? And the $10? Yeah, you’ve got it now.)
• The JackHammer
• El Diez
• XXX (Provocative Roman numerals)
• MMX (Not as provocative Roman numerals)
• Bitsy (thanks to @mrsF5 for this one… there’s really no significance behind it. “Bitsy” is just a really good nickname.)
• 2k10k
• Tooky Tinky (This is what “2k10k” sounds like if you hold your tongue. Kind of like how “apple” becomes “asshole”.)
• 2-Muscle (I put “2010″ in on a Jersey Shore Name Generator and this came out. I think it’s pretty perfect. Thanks to @lmango for the inspiration. Oh, and speaking of Jersey Shore, how about…)
• SNOOKI (Yeah, maybe not)
• Duece-o-diez
• 2kX
• The Fig Tootin’ (The Gator came up with this one. The evolution goes like this: Two Ten => The Two Ton => The Tootin => The Fig Tootin)
• The year auto-tune becomes self aware and kills us all (Seriously. Watch yourself. And if you see auto-tune wearing a do rag you know it’s over.)
• The Countdown (To what? Yeah, I don’t know.)
• Tweezy Teezy (Thanks to @be3d for this one. Baby talk is always ok in our books.)
  
• Future Year
• Obama +1
• The Vin Diesel Experience (T’tip provided this one. What it means is anyone’s guess, but it scares me.)
• Sum Thirty
• Your Mom (Thanks, SugarTits. Thanks a lot.)
• Two Zero One Zero
• Vaya Con Diez
• 8:10pm (Think about military time on this one. Pretty brilliant, right? Hat tip to Matress Kitten over at RDK.)
• The Year of the Tiger (Too soon? Well tough shit because it really is the year of the tiger.)
• 2011 (SurlyZ gave us this one. I’m fairly certain he’s already passed judgement on 2010 and has moved on to 2011.)
• Roy Scheider (Yeah.)
• Burj Khalifa
• The Rise of the Pennywrinks (Wondering what a Pennywrink is? Look it up.)

And that’s just the start.

UPDATE #1 (1/19/10)

• Titty bang (Think about the numbers, now erase that “2″. See it? Yeah? Sorry.)
• Cock ‘N Balls (Same thing. Once again, sorry.)
• The Dub-Dime
• The International Year of Biodiversity (Thanks, U.N.)
• The International Year of Youth (This one also comes from the U.N. I’m not sure what it means… We have until August 12th to figure it out.)
• The Weekend (2010 started on a Friday… so yeah.)

I’ll keep updating this list if you guys keep giving me more names. Until then, enjoy!

If you’ve got some more nicknames for the year 2010, PLEASE leave them in the comments. DO IT!

Happy New Year!
