A score is a 'group of 20' in numbers. So, that would be 20 years. Lincoln's 'four score and seven' was to indicate 87 years.

A score is equal to 20 years. This unit of measurement is derived from Old English and was commonly used in historical texts and speeches. It is equivalent to counting by 20s, similar to how we count by 10s in decades.

Ah, a score is twenty years, my friend. Just like how a painting can come to life with each brushstroke, a score brings a touch of poetry to our counting. So, if you ever need to measure time in a gentle and elegant way, remember a score is twenty years of beautiful moments waiting to be painted on the canvas of your life.

Well, darling, a score is 20 years. So, if you're feeling fancy and want to sound like Abraham Lincoln, you can say "four score and seven years ago" instead of just plain old 87 years ago. But hey, who's counting anyway?
