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.

I feel your pain, my 12 year old picked up after she went back to school in September. Still, at least sigma and Skibidi seem to have passed by the wayside!

FruityFrog · 21/10/2025 13:09

Bring back the skibidi toilet say I.

Well what is it then? Never heard of it.

A kid in America was filmed watching some event, sports or a concert, something like that. He couldn't think of anything to say, so just shouted out "six! seven!" into the camera.

The clip was posted on social media and went "viral".

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.

How funny and annoying. That's kids though. I remember dissolving into hysteria whenever cheese was mentioned because of Monty python.

Whassup!

ThisGentleRaven · 21/10/2025 13:17

if it's not that, it's something else, skibidi was creepy.

It's harmless, just annoying. When it's being discussed on MN, it probably means it's already on the way out

"My beard"

Rictasmorticia · 21/10/2025 13:21

It has been banned at GD’s school. I thought it started as a sport thing.

AtomicBlondeRose · 21/10/2025 13:21

I don’t get the obsession with knowing what something “means” - it means what the person using it intends it to mean! It could be the solution to a lost mathematical theorem but it doesn’t matter because all it “means” is to be an annoying, catchy all-purpose phrase. There’s one every year - for a while kids would dab instead of answering you! I mean, there’s about 1000 different ideas of where the phrase OK originates, (none of them proven before people derail the thread telling me all their equally incorrect ideas), but it’s the most used phrase in the world. At this stage it’s completely irrelevant what OK stands for, because we all know what it stands for to us. And the same goes for 6-7 - one kid saying it to another understands what they mean by it, and that’s what matter to them.

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.

😂

Sasha07 · 21/10/2025 13:23

We with older kids had to endure '21' and 'my name is Jeff' (both from Jump Street, I think?!) on repeat all day long, then the nephews screaming 'ayy yahhh' aka the sex noise that bizarrely spread about around junior age kids.

It's a form of endurance/torture that us parents need to go through, to make us remember we love them even when there's a wooden spoon to hand and an urge to beat them with it. (Joke, don't come at me, ok 75% joke but 🤷)

Be thankful you are not a maths, dance or music teacher.

They were being nice!

To be fair,they where lovely teens and I got that it was a sign of respect

It just made me laugh at their faces when I shouted 'Alex,my G!'

This reminds me of the time dd loved a song

Best coolest song on the planet apparently

Until I added it to my playlist and started singing along to it

Worst song ever after that-i heard her say to a friend 'I did like that song but then mum started liking it so it's rubbish now!'

Can't win!

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 21/10/2025 13:25

I have to shamefacedly admit that a bunch of us were doing the 'Aceeeeed! Aceeeeed!' at work the other night.

Well it was work's fault. They were playing acid music on the radio,. So there. And no, I won't go to bed early, you're not my mum!

Mumofteenandtween · 21/10/2025 12:47

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!

What a brillliant idea!

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 😵‍💫

Same. And does it literally involve just saying the numbers 6 and 7? How is that fun?!

Sorry! Bloody phone!

DUCK TAPE & understairs cupboard!

Wonderingpurple · 21/10/2025 13:32

Well imagine being a maths teacher, I’d never before realised how often an answer has 6-7 in it

Grin Good job you explained what it meant.

Staringintothevoid616 · 21/10/2025 13:35

Like anything related to rap music it’s a load of crap. I still don’t understand why people like this crappy “music” its embedded with violence and misogyny

RightOnTheEdge · 21/10/2025 13:36

I'd never heard anyone say it but but my 14 year old was having a moan about it yesterday saying how annoying it is.

ImthatBoleyngirl · 21/10/2025 13:37

My kids don't really know what it means, just that a lot of people say it on the internet. I say it now as well. The kids think it's hilarious!

Achewyhamster · 21/10/2025 13:38

Ds still calls me 'bruv' (he starts messages with it)

He's 25 and a father,he does it to wind me up

I'm going to message back 6-7 the next time he wants something (which is normally why he messages me in the first place)

Bet i'll be 'soooo uncool bruv'
