sixty-something
Between sixty, seventy
Sixty-something describes a person in their sixties—anywhere from sixty to sixty-nine years old.
The construction works for any decade: a forty-something executive, a twenty-something barista.
As a noun, it refers to a person of that age: The bar was full of sixty-somethings.
