The archaic way of enumerating things in prose “two and ninety” is the best part. Perfect comedic reveal.
I think it’s also used in archaic English ‘four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie’
Four score and seven years ago
The and is a bit weird but I do sometimes break large numbers down like that, for example if I’m looking at an address I won’t say 1050 I won’t say one thousand fifty ill say ten fifty.
no that’s 420 blackbirds. it’s a very high pie.
