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.

I think it also depends on what video you've seen as to what it means. I first saw the one with the kid at the basketball game.

This is the best possible approach! Love it

I was confused by the first message and googled it wondering if it was like a ’67’ ’skibidi’ type thing. Lucky I searched on a private browser because the results that came up 😳

Anyway I assumed you made a typo so knew you meant duck tape!!

It's better than skibidi toilets and sussy backer.

My son did it. I spent 2 days repeating my DOB with every single sentence. He stopped.

It's from a song by a US rapper and in the song he references 6 and 7 which is his area code in Philadelphia.

I am 10000% sure none of the Brit kids doing this challenge know this.

Yep, this was my approach........worked a treat. I started skibbidying etc to my heart's content and my husband started calling me a 'baddy'. Soon shut DS13 up.

I told my 17 Yr yesterday that I'm beginning to be unable to understand what she is saying to me. Yesterday's confusion was 'I was looking chuzz' which apparently is 'chopped huzz' = ugly woman(I think, the explanation was as confusing as the term itself) ..... I despair!

I don’t want to bring the time down but I saw an episode of south park with 17yo and when they said 6/7 something would happen to him and the doctor was saying it could go on6/7 weeks or 6/7 months or even 6/7 years but he might not live 6/7 days. I’m giggling now

So weird how many people are so excited to ruin something that their kids are finding fun. We all did cringe stuff when we were kids. This one is harmless. Why intentionally try and ruin it?

"The idea of little white kids running around their selective schools shouting it out is embarrassing"

My 6yo doing random gang signs with her hands (we live in rural Northern Ireland) makes me feel like Ralph Fiennes character in the In Bruges film when he is offered an Uzi.

DH started saying it so DDs have stopped now 😆

Why would you do that - it’s really mean?

I’ve been told it’s because 67 on the periodic table is Ho (hoe)

I think you mean duct tape….

Duck tape is a brand of tape.

67 does not bother me, nor do all the skibidis and sussy bakas. I remember what I was like at that age and I was so full of shit and just staying stuff for lols and thoroughly enjoyed it. Me and my friends decided that the word "it" meant "vagina" and giggled every time someone said it, which was ALL THE TIME. 🙈 They'll move on to the next thing soon. Like a PP said, I'm pleased the 69 is gone (for now) because it was genuinely awkward.

Yeah I'm sending my phone off to a home maintenance course!

it's a bit Duck mad! I think it's all the photos down at the lake!! 🦆

I know. So is Gorilla tape. And Fixatape. But you wouldn’t use small brand names as definitions of a category so I assumed she meant Duct tape.

I might do that going forward at work to cheer myself up!

oops 🫣😂

To be fair it was quite funny in places. Like when we noticed my mate's dad had Stephen King's It on his bedside table. 😅

It’s not really mean, it’s showing her how daft it is to spout nonsense in public - especially when you don’t have a clue what it means. I’m fairly sure she won’t be scarred for life 🤣

I don't mind most of these but when my year 6 DC says any of them too much I start using them too. He asks how I know what it means and I tell him I've looked it up in the Urban Dictionary. Which he finds appalling, that a grown up has accessed his slang.

Our DDs (16 and 18) taught DH "6, 7", along with the weighing up hand movements about 6 months ago. He throws it in to conversation with them every now and then and they seem to think it's hilarious to see a 50 year old man doing it...

The other thing we get a lot of is this:

I'm like "Ha ha", you're like "Ho ho", I'm like "Hee hee hee!" (I have no idea.)

The girls also call each other "broski". They are otherwise intelligent, well spoken young ladies.

I do remember a lot of "Ahhh, gutted!" and "Ha, get gutted!" when I was their age, but at least that made sense!
