I bet I lost that part of the explanation when I asked for layman's terms.

Nah, pretty sure that is just a (very mild) hallucination because it couldn't find an actual good example

Yeah, problem is that I'm not aware of anyone who actually writes octal numbers as "OCT123" nor decimal numbers as "DEC123". It's basically a made-up syntax, supposed to look plausible for both date notation and number system notation. It's part of the joke, which LLMs won't understand.
