Youths?

What's a "youth" to you?

I was deeply confused when I read this headline in today's Baltimore Sun:Youths fume over cigar ban

Youths fume? Okay, cute pun, but youths can't buy cigars in Maryland. You have to be 18. But then it turns out that the people they interviewed are 22... plus a couple of 17-year-olds.

22 isn't a "youth". 17 might be - on the edge - but 22 isn't.

Not to me, anyway.
