The Naming the Decade Returns

It has been many years since I began naming the decade, the unies. To be accurate, it started in 1999 on University of South Carolina's campus cafeteria. It seems like just yesterday, that I sat at the table eating a sandwich and reading the USA Today where I would come across the life changing article. 

The article describes how there was a missing word to describe this decade, the years between 2000-2009. Within two minutes, I thought of my own word to describe this decade, the unies. My word tackled the problem of naming the decade by looking at the numbers between zero and nine. Single digits? The only word that really meant 0 throgh 9 was the single digits. But even then the single digits wouldn't fly to far.

I instantly thought of a word that meant something to me. I always suffered from a uni-brow - a pair of eyebrows that meets or nearly meets over the nose. There I go, within seconds I seemed to have the unies at the answer!

Heck, it made sense. Uni - means one like unicycle and unicorn. Uni was also a prefix that meant to come together to make one like university is a bunch of colleges and uniformity. 

So within two minutes this goofy little word would begin to direct my life in many different ways.
