fifty-five
Decade past forty-five
Fifty-five is the number between fifty-four and fifty-six, written 55.
The fifty-five-mile-per-hour speed limit was once standard on American highways: I got pulled over doing seventy in a fifty-five.
Fifty-five and older marks the threshold for "senior" discounts and retirement communities.
