Terrible Twenties

Age 22 - 29. The period by which the safety net of school and parents are no more (or coming to an end) and the world is thrust upon you, forcing you to grow up. It's the period of individual growth and learning of the world--away from the shelter of parents. It includes feelings of angst, frustration, depression and forced evaluation of self. It is followed by the intrinsic need to have one's own family.
Friend #1 (Age 23): "I can't get a break in life!"

Friend #2 (Age 33): "You have to crawl before you walk...you're in the terrible twenties."

Les Enfants Terribles

Root: "The Les Enfants Terribles Project" referenced in the Metal Gear Solid video games. It used Gene Therapy to create the Genome Army as well as both Sold Snake and Liquid Snake through the analysis and cloning of Big Boss's genes.

It means literally "the terrible children" in French, which makes sense because all the clones/sons of Big Boss are trained killers.
Solid Snake was created in the "Les Enfants Terribles" Project.

Terribly right

When something goes the way you wanted it to, but you realize that it wasn't for your best interest. Sometimes, "terribly" is used to modify "right," meaning "very right". Depends on context.
Person 1: "I didn't anticipate this going..."
Person 2: "It went terribly right, in my opinion."
