twenteen

Essentially a replacement word for Twenty, however, this is more of a characteristic of defining the new "kidult" age. Which is the age from 18 - 25, where people are staying at home longer, in order to obtain an education without moving out. Also used for people who continue to be a teenager well after their age has exceded the teenage years. This covers the ages from 20, through to 29 (twenteen-nine), as the age of 30 becomes thirteen, which is going backwards.

I am currently twenteen (20) years of age. Actually, I am currently twenteen-two years of age. But that is so not the point.

Twenteen

The real way to say the number 12. It’s not “Twelve”. If you have a high enough intelligence, you’ll come to realize that it’s actually “Twenteen”

Person A: How old are you?
Person B: I’m twelve.
Person A: What kind of number is that?
Person B: Uh.. it’s just a one and a two together.
Person A: That’s pronounced “Twenteen”. I don’t know what language you got that number from, but it’s not English.
