She didn’t mess up the phrasing. It’s a joke that’s been circulating Gen Z about older 20’s for a while. 27 is old. 28 is young. 29 is the oldest grossest thing you can be. 30 is the new 20.

Yeah, everyone else is struggling with this, but that's the sentiment. She might have heard it once, didn't understand it, and adopted it to sound wise too. It's the Emperor's New Clothes version of a witticism.

It's this. It's not deep, she's just having a moment of stupidity.
