It's a very Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid moment. The two snarking sarcastically at each other, ignoring the raiding party come to kill them.
That's why I think the line really is directed at Jayne, they're not acting for the raider's benefit anymore, they're joking with each other, so there's no reason for Mal to not use the amount of time he's actually known Jayne.
But, yeah, this isn't concrete by any means, though I do think it's at least a reasonable conclusion.

There are some ages for the crew given on the Serenity Blu-Ray, just so you can confirm and update.
I've heard about that database, but since I still don't have the set (or the means to play it), I would need some helpful Browncoat to screencap the biographical screens and either post them or email them to me before I could update the Firefly Timeline with that information.

Sorry that I have been away for awhile. I did not see your thread until now.
There is no exact and accurate date in the Verse except one - a scheduled arrival date in Our Mrs. Reynolds.
Other dates are derived from various sources, of which many conflict with each other, some are patently false (for different reasons), and many have different amount of weight affixed to them. For instance, if you consider canon the date at the beginning of Pilot Serenity to apply to the original script and originally shot scenes, or to the re-scripted scenes, later shot and fit into the Pilot which was never aired until the Series was already canceled - because those dates are at least 7 weeks apart.
Anyhow, some timeline discussion and the resulting dates, to be used as your view fits, are in some threads here.
A list of them with links is in the Blue Sun Room forum, in a thread called Writer's Resource Package.
That post also includes a couple links to threads about The Map of the Verse, and some Travel and Navigational data, in case those are helpful.
I'm told these threads are used as reference by some writers of fanfic.
If you have further questions, post.
Of course, you may be far beyond that now.

I'm sad because Qmx took down their white papers for the Verse by Numbers. For some reason I appear to be too dumb to save a copy.

There are several maps in the zip file: The Verse In Numbers, Version 1.1, by J. Chris Bourdier ; Astrogation Reference Charts of the Verse, Version 1.3, by William T. Pace ; Intersystem Distance Calculator.
The Firefly timeline starts on page 5 of The Verse In Numbers. If that is all you want then QMx download for only that is http://store.qmxonline.com/assets/images/serenity/atlasoftheverse/the_
verse_in_numbers_v11.pdf
The Joss Whedon script for "Serenity," where Wash lives, is

And I don't think you need an account at www.mediafire.com Maybe mediafire is campaigning for more free signups. But you can bypass all that nonsense, I think, by going directly to www.mediafire.com/?4udzvi035v6dx2e to get Maps-of-the-Verse.zip

To be honest, I'm not terribly fond of the Quantum Mechanix approach to the 'verse, which is why I haven't included any information from their products in my own Firefly Timeline.
They seem very intent on a "Hard SF" interpretation of the franchise, which seems so far removed from the focus of the series as aired and so fundamentally at odds with how Joss Whedon operates that I don't feel like it makes sense to go in that direction.
It sort of reminds me of tech-minded Star Trek fans, who get so obsessed with starship registry numbers and warp formulae that they can't relax and enjoy the actual substance of the show...

They worked with Joss though, I thought?
No reason why Joss can't give a shrug and a "sure why not" if someone figures out how his soft sci-fi could be hard science. So long as they don't break any of the aspects that Joss does want, like "No FTL" it seems harmless to me.
