Tbh I didnt find googling 6 7 challenging.........
"Merriam-Webster defines 6-7 as a “nonsensical expression used especially by teens and tweens” and links its origins to two intertwined cultural phenomena: the 2024 song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Philadelphia-based rapper Skrilla, and NBA player LaMelo Ball, who happens to be exactly 6’7” in height. The rap song went viral on TikTok and Instagram, where it was often paired with highlights from Ball’s games."

Ive no idea what the rest of your post means though. A 1 day blinding stew? I could google that too I guess....... but I cba!

six seven

Six seven (or 67 or 6 7, etc.) is a nonsensical expression used especially by teens and tweens that is connected to a rap song and also to a 6’ 7' tall basketball player. >Teens and adults alike have tried to explain it.

It doesn't mean anything at all. Just one of those stupid trends that will die out when the next one pops up.

It does appear to be essentially meaningless.

Top tip from my 11 year old is their teachers got in on it, making it soo uncool. Adult takeover!

I heard it was a TikTok craze that means nothing and was designed to infuriate adults.
