Mid-Twenties Breakdown

A time of mental breakdown that occurs during a person's twenties, often a result of an inability to function outside of college/university or other types of structured environments. Feeling alone and/or useless also tends to be a symptom of the mid-twenties breakdown.
Soon after Paul finished grad school at age 24 he found that he couldn't get a job and had a mid-twenties breakdown and moved back to his parents' basement where he spent most of his days playing Xbox and smoking weed.

A group of gay Imagine Dragons fans who have no lives and constantly spend their time talking to each other on an app called Cubie (now known as Pal +). This cult was created on July 1st 2013 by Lexi (@perfectcows) and Sam (@thirty_lives). The group has expanded to 30 people and continues to grow. The Tenties have an annual convention called "Tenties take NYC" which started in 2014. Members of the Tentie cult live all over the world, including USA, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Ireland.

An awesome way to refer to the decade that started in 2010 and ends in 2019. The one that we're in right now.

However, Damien Fletcher from mirror.co.uk said:

"The tenties have also been suggested but that just goes against the pattern of the decades because the ‘ties’ ending doesn’t start until 2020."

But screw patterns, right? Tenties ROCKS!!!

mid-twenties 

The age range in your twenties, beginning at 24 and ending at 26. Up until 24 (20-23), you're in your early twenties. After 26 (27-29), you're in your late twenties.
When I hit 24, I had transitioned from my early twenties to my mid-twenties. Then I had a mid-twenties crisis.

Mid Twenties Rage 

That moment in the mid twenties when you don't want to pretend to be mature anymore like you felt you needed to in your early twenties and you decide to rage until you reach your late twenties.

I Roll Twenties

Slang term similar to saying "I am awesome at everything."

Stems from the proud nature of D&D-style games where rolling a Natural 20 (a twenty straight from the die) is considered a great skill.
