Adjective
[edit]sixties (not comparable)
- From or evoking the 61st through 70th years of a century (chiefly the 1960s).
- She coughed as she exhaled. Sixties weed had been nowhere near this strong.
- 1993, Arthur Marwick, “Six Novels of the Sixties — Three French, Three Italian”, in Journal of Contemporary History, volume 28, number 4, , page 588:
- Historians do not rely on single bits of evidence, but are always seeking corroboration, qualification, correction. These novels, set in context, are in themselves interesting fragments of sixties culture.
