What is sixty-odd?

It means that the speaker is in his sixties (ie his age falls somewhere between 60 and 69). When people don't want to use a specific age, or don't want to say exactly how old they are, they use this kind of phrase.

How old are you?
Oh, forty-odd!

We also say "forty-something".
