I read an Old Farmer's Almanac about that once.
*looks through his Old Farmer's Almanacs for the article*
Page 172 of the 1997 edition. "Ohs" and "zeroes" are mentioned as possibilities.
> I've been calling this decade the Zips. Perhaps I can be considered one of these kids tomorrow, since I have such cool decade-naming ideas?
Not your idea, unless you know the guy whom the article's writer spoke to. ;-) He suggested "the zips" too.
BTW, I call it the "aughts" (also mentioned in the article).
