Six Seeeeven. Dear God make it stop.

[AhBiscuits]

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.

Was going to post that link 😂

When my sister was at secondary school, she thought "mo-fos" was short for "my folks" and often used to say to her friends, "let's go, mo-fos!" 😆

I realised then that using slang you don't understand is a bad idea.

Wassuuuuuuuuppppp!

My understanding is that it's from the steal a brainrot game.

They introduced a '69' brainrot, which was obviously inappropriate and banned, and they replaced it with '67'.

Oh its just a bit of silly fun. Just start doing it with them. Its starting to lose it momentum here so it'll be over by Xmas.

I HATED that Budweiser advert and "Whasssup!". Apparently, it was an incredibly popular and successful ad campaign, but I couldn't stand it.

Kids are odd aren't they? Like the sad cat song, I thought it was just something my kids had latched onto then one day we were on a day out and this random kid launches into it!

What IS IT?
We saw it on educating Yorkshire and it kind of annoyed my husband so I do it regularly.

I just told the kids I work with: 'We don't skibidi anything'. Am amazed but they stopped.
It is a good word to say though!

It is not a gang thing lol. Its from the Roblox game 'brain rot'. One of the characters is called '6-7' and its said its a elongated way ie six- seeeeveeeeen

just meme/edit culture, it comes from the song but the song isn’t really anything to do with it meaning wise, just used in a lot of edits .
it didn’t come from the Roblox brain rot game, but has been added to it recently.

i am too old to know all this but I deal with 67 and other brain rot stuff daily 😅

There is a wikipedia article for the meme if you want the actual background.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_(meme)

Short answer: it was a number in a song by an artist called Skrilla, who has said he didn't intend it to have any particular meaning. The song got picked up and used in edited videos about basketball players (particularly one who is 6'7'' tall) and used by some of them as a meme. A kid at a basketball game was interviewed and did the 6-7 thing in the voice with the hand gesture and that became a Thing online as well, it spread from there.

We’ve started doing it whenever possible, loudly, in public. DD 10 is mortified and we haven’t heard it from her in days…😉

3 year old keeps walking around going "Chicken Banana Chicken Banana" that he's learnt from the 6 year olds at nursery. I love him but may have to lob him out the window if it carries on

Don’t cry for me Argentina has a line in it that goes “At sixes and sevens with you”

Every time my kids said “six seven” I sang it. With full operatic flair. Dh joined in. My kids stopped saying it strangely quick!

My 10 y.o. brought it from school but is intelligent/mature enough to know this is stupid stuff and not to be repeated. Social media are not allowed in our house and we are too old to get excited about stuff like this.

I believe it’s short for ‘goat’, which itself is short for ‘greatest of all time’. So they were indeed being nice 😁

In what context do they say it though. If they are just randomly shouting this out it's quite weird.

If 6-7 appears "in the wild" they get excited - like if a teacher said turn to page 67 in your books there may be quite a lot of comments/laughter/excitement. Some may shout 6-7 out as a joke answer if a number is being required. Or they just say it as it's to them a funny thing to bring up, like kids used to repeat funny bits of advert jingles or catchphrases from comedy shows, do impressions of the Crazy Frog or whatever.

I remember saying “itchy chin”, “potatoooes”, “garlic bread” at school/college in the late 90s/early 00s. I imagine we were very annoying!

It'll pass when another annoying thing comes along bro. I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Four or five years ago everything was "sick" to teenagers, never hear that now, and I can't even remember what we were saying when I was at school in the 80s and 90s, but no doubt it was annoying for my parents.

These kids will look back on this in a few years and cringe.
It's cringe now but there you go, I hear kids say this and I have to laugh because it's so stupid.

I ran a guess the sweets in the jar competition at the school I work in. So many guessed 67......so many.....

Sadly incorrect!

Skibidi sigma Riz Ohio. In whatever order you like. And "ship" and "fit" (as in outfit). I teach teens and make my own keep me up to date. They're a bit mystified by 6/7. It's the younger ones that do that more "Miss, is it p6 or p7???"...cue hysterical laughter.

"Whatsuuuuuup" is one i thought about reading @AliceMcK's post. Seemed to be around for ages!

AliceMcK is absolutely right, the inane repetition of a phrase has been.aound for eons. Only difference social media probably makes it catch on quicker.
