Similar to a catch 22. It is used for the rare occasion when you run into a catch 22, because you in fact are not 21.
Friend: Why didn't you come to Vegas with us?
Me: Well, I have my court date for underaged drinking and I'm not 21 so I wouldn't be able to do anything in Vegas.
Friend: Man that is a catch 22
Me: More like a catch 21!
