Your imagination of it is all you need to know. It’s a natural human thing that happens sometimes. It just wasn’t until the ‘naughties’ that someone tagged it with a word and THAT is the funny thing about language.

Moreover, I’m not happy about the fact that I didn’t learn about the ‘naughties’, meaning the years 2000-2009 until the ‘naughties’ were already over! Why did we never think of THAT?

Speaking of time passing, imagine being involved in the Civil War as a youth and then at the end of your life seeing the meat grinder (WWI) churning up all of the young people of your country. Sometimes I feel I don’t belong here.
