My kids are 8 and 10. Can't go an hour without saying six seven. I don't know how they know about it. They made me take a photo of them outside house number 67 on a walk the other day. We weren't this annoying as children were we? I blame the internet for this.

My son’s 5 and his class know about it. Brain rot, indeed.

It - like much of the "Italian brainrot" phenomenon is fairly problematic if you look it up. LIke much of the racist, misogynists TikTok slang circulating around.

Thank goodness I grew up and had children before all this stuff

I'm happy to say I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!

LookAtMeWithStarryEyes · 21/10/2025 11:52

I’ve heard this and tried to google what it’s all about but I’m still none the wiser.

It refers to an area, like 67th Street, or a police code. The idea of little white kids running around their selective schools shouting it out is embarrassing. It's a gang thing basically.

Ooh when I asked DC, I got some mumbled garbage about ghosting people.

i just said ok, I’ll start using it then. It’s been all quiet on the 67 front here since.

ETA: Seeing the wiki page, it goes to show they don’t even know what they are saying.

It really isnt... it comes from American Drill Music.

DEAROP · 21/10/2025 11:57

10-67 is the police code.

Niftyowl · 21/10/2025 11:58

My 8 year old was doing this for ages…. Me and his dad started doing it…. He hasn’t done it since 🤣🤣

When I asked mine what it meant they smirked at eachother and said I wouldn't understand.

So gangs, drill music, ghosting and police codes…..yep, as I said, still none the wiser. I did try reading the wiki link but I’m still 😵‍💫

lol…gotta love kids! Tbf, I probably wouldn’t understand.

Prestonpope · 21/10/2025 12:00

My DD14 started saying this all the time. I had to tell her very firmly to stop. That and bloody ‘skibidi’.

There was an article in The Guardian about it (yesterday I think); apparently parents and teachers are now saying it - the surest way to make it uncool is when the adults start!

butterdish93 · 21/10/2025 12:00

A primary school teacher friend told me it means ‘mid’. Like rating things, but with any kids lingo it blends into just saying it for the sake of it.

FurForksSake · 21/10/2025 12:00

Look. Join in, do it more, make it annoying for them. They’ll cringe and stop.

Nineandahalf · 21/10/2025 12:00

I'm a teacher
The benefit of 6-7 is that they no longer all snigger at 69, or shout it out
Long live 6-7!

Probably because they don't understand and theyre just saying whatever they think is cool

Blueuggboots · 21/10/2025 12:01

My son spent a few months saying “twennny one” in a really stupid accent. It will stop..

Skibidi? Dare I even ask?

It’s harmless fun. I love it.
