An earlier version of wiktionary had that definition. Apparently it was deleted for lack of citation other than Tolkien which might be an in-universe term.
> 1. A person in their twenties, between 20 and 29 years old. Possibly including 30-32.
> 1954 "The Fellowship of the Ring", J.R.R. Tolkien
> At that time Frodo was still in his tweens, as the hobbits called the irresponsible twenties between childhood and coming of age at thirty-three.
That's amazing, thank you. I just hit my wife over the head with it, and she's not amused. But I feel vindicated that Tolkien, 41*, and I all are ahead of everyone else ;)
Oh, i thought it was people between teen and early twenties, as it looks like a combination of these words.
I misused the word, thanks for pointing that out. Really confusing when you stumble upon such a total misconception about the meaning of a word in your own vocabulary.
As I said, I made exactly the same mistake ;) Teen comes from ten, it only makes sense that tweens comes from twenty. IMO we are right and everyone else is wrong ;)
I have never even heard of anyone doing that, I’d say dinner for one is vastly more popular.
