To not understand the whole "6 7" thing and to feel uneasy about it

Could anyone explain it please? I feel about 100 and I'm a bit worried it's something my kids shouldn't know about - or maybe I should?

I need to know what the action is.

I can still induce crippling levels of cringe in my teen by saying "keep it lemon" and pointing randomly.

6 7 + action looks like it has equal potential

I hadn’t come across this before but there have always been trends like this - anyone renember “Are you with me?” “No, I’m with the Woolwich!”?

I've read it's a code for "ho". Don't know how true that is!

No it isn't. It quite literally doesn't mean anything. It's reference to a video of a kid at a basketball game which went viral. Similar to skibidi toilet.

OP just because you don't understand something you shouldn't feel uneasy, a simple Google would have given you the information you need.

I think we have kids of the same age. Bombardino crocodilo is another annoying one.

How about Noobini Pizzanini?! 😂

I've started using it in school. It stuns them. Hopefully now the oldies are using it too it will go the way of last year's Skibidi and fade into a distant memory. It is sooooo annoying though. 😂

I'm in Wales but in English medium schools (peripatetic role). I find copying the action but saying 'chwech saith' adds to the cringe factor and stops them saying it. 😉

It’s utter nonsense that they hear on TikTok and therefore assume it’s Funny and Clever and something they Must Do.

I had a y8 class the other week and one of them said he’d been told off for yelling out the number 67. Then saying 6 7 to reiterate what he meant. I said something like “I imagine sir is a bit fed up of the TikTok stupidity”. To which another replied “But miss, we were doing prime numbers, and 67 is a prime number”. Grin And another “See, we do pay attention!”

Couldn’t stop giggling at that which I probably shouldn’t have done. I felt for the maths teachers. But at the same time, I was reminded how much I enjoy my working with teenagers!

Nah, comments like your one is.

Its the a common height of a basketball player, that name it into a Rap song, that then became a meme before becoming a meaningless saying.

Its a benign one.

This is what my kids told me - they showed me some high speed nonsense YouTube clip to support the claim 😂

ToriTheStoryteller · 22/10/2025 15:16

We haven't had this in the house, our phrase of the month is "imagine ..." preceeding EVERYTHING.

DS: "imagine having to go swimming tonight"
Mate: "imagine having to stay at home tonight"

🤣

A local headteacher used it in a podcast and I am hoping that does the trick of making it so uncool kids stop using it!!
Those poor maths teachers

Kids forever have said silly, annoying, nonsensical catchphrases and random words that are in trend, sometimes for ridiculous reasons. It’s harmless from edits on social media.

DisturbedSleep · 22/10/2025 15:11

My child came home asking about it, after his teacher told his class that Tiktok is nonsense, and they shouldn't be watching it. He's five.

Cue lots of questions 'what is TikTok?', 'what does six seven mean?', 'why is everyone doing this action with their hands when they say it?'

The sheep say it.

Tiswa · 22/10/2025 15:08

I think the whole point is it means nothing but only the kids know that and the adults are confused and that is what they find funny.

like a lot of things I think it has gone from DS age range (13) and is working its way down the ages

it is better than hawk tuah which was a sexual innuendo

quiteathome · 22/10/2025 15:01

I just say it to annoy the teens. It really annoys them when you use their slang.

I quite enjoy shouting 6-7 6-7 when those are the scores on strictly. It means nothing

In and of itself it's no big deal, kids have always done things like this. However, I think it demonstrates how incredibly powerful social contagion is and how social media has supercharged that phenomenon.

has it though because shit like this went round when I was at school and there was no social media

What the sigma?

Think alpha with bells on. Good, excellent, the best, alpha male, etc.

Ponoka7 · 22/10/2025 14:54

It's a brain rot trend. It needs to do one, along with ballerina cappuccino. It is banned in my GCs classrooms.

BadgernTheGarden · 22/10/2025 14:54

Showing my age. Pinch, punch first day of the month and no returns. Painful as well as truly annoying. At least 6, 7 is pretty benign, just infuriating. This too will pass.
