The stage of life at which, no longer nice and open-minded and not yet kind and wise, a human
female believes she is prettier and smarter than she really is and deserves more than she's got, and is at her most intolerable. A
woman's late twenties are often marked by the beginning or ending of an unwise
marriage and a tendency to inflict maximum harm on all around her.
Man: I hear you'
re seeing someone. How old is she?
Boy: Yes, she's twenty-eight.
Man:
Late twenties! You
poor SOB. Just remember, whatever happens, it's not your fault.
