I recently heard a woman describe herself as a 四十｛よんじゅう｝ウン歳｛さい｝. My guess is
that it is the Japanese equivalent of "40-something", but I am not sure.

What does ウン歳 mean?
[ウン](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/292369/meaning/m0u/) in this context
means 'something', so it would be forty-something.

ウン is used as a filler for unspecific mumbling on other occasions also - like
[here in
"unnunkannun"](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E4%BA%91%E4%BA%91%E3%81%8B%E3%82%93%E3%81%AC%E3%82%93-212969).
