To not understand the whole "6 7" thing and to feel uneasy about it

[winterwonder1]

Could anyone explain it please? I feel about 100 and I'm a bit worried it's something my kids shouldn't know about - or maybe I should?

I say it to the kids in my class, they hate me doing it sooo much because it suddenly becomes far less cool 😂

Had a very long conversation & explanation from my dgd re this & Bombardino etc along with 67
also the sigma song & APT lyrics that was a while back so maybe not so popular now, it’s harmless OP no doubt something else will be the next big thing very soon.

I think that's an oversimplified example.

The tv series "Adolescence" was a great demonstration of how kids/teens these days have their own language and what can be perceived as totally innocent and innocuous can actually have deeper meaning.

People/professionals/experts used that show as a spring board to encourage parents to pay more attention to their kids language/communications and to be aware of the myriad of opportunities to access negative influences.

Sounds to me like the OP is doing what we parents are so strongly being encouraged to do...look into meanings of language to check they are safe. I don't see why they should be judged for that.

The world has evolved into a pretty different place since the 1999 whasaaap phase...

It’s a random phrase that now we adults know about it and say it will soon be gone!

Precisely - Thank you!

I counteract this in my house by saying whatever random combination of numbers I see fit. Or ‘sixty seven’. I like purposely getting daft crap wrong.

Yeah but that was a language used to code text messages so they could talk in secret. I'm quite sure my 13 year old saying 6 7 randomly and laughing his head off when he hears it said is a secret language we should be concerned about.

Sounds a bit like that trend that kids had a while ago.

When all id hear from younger school kids when they walked past was OH YEAHHHH in such cringy way.

My 10-year -year-old had to explain this to me. 6,7 basically means that if you see those two numbers together, you say six seven. So for example, if you're reading out numbers 1 to 10 and when you get two, six and seven you go 6,7 it basically doesn't mean anything.

It's just a funny thing they say when they see the two numbers together and that can be in anything such as dates, door numbers.

Nah, this comment says a lot more about you than kids following a daft trend

Most kids find it hilarious because adults don’t get it.

First I heard of it was during school the other day. Someone came in wearing a DIY number tshirt with 6 - 7 on the back.

Our head teacher told us all with some authority that this referred to grave measurements. 6 ft deep, 7 ft...um... long...presumably. Who knows.

I pay little heed to her. Woman thinks her ailments are caused the stress of her "doing a man's job", gay people are an abomination, tattoos and DM boots are for deviants and that the existence of dinosaurs is questionable.

Your use of that horrid phrase to describe children is quite disgusting.

The use of the word "moron" (unless you're writing some kind of paper on the history of psychiatry in the early twentieth century) is probably a more reliable means of identifying people who don't engage their brains before committing on the intelligence of children...

Goodness I thought this past weeks and weeks ago

Certainly my two are 🙄, yeah it’s old

Did ‘massive’ mean something else?

It was THE favourite word of a DD’s friend’s little boy of 3 a few years ago. He’s gone down in the annals for having told nursery teachers that his daddy had a. MASSIVE willy! 😂

Reminds me of the disruption caused in primary classes by the outbreaks of the dreaded lurgi, which had to be passed on, in lesson time, if it was carried in from playtime.
Drat the Goons.

They weren’t asking for the meaning. “What the sigma?” is another saying kids use at the moment.

6 7 💀

The crocodilo one is from a YouTube animation thing called Italian Brain Rot.

My DS (aged 17 and 19!!) were over the moon to find Italian brain rot cards (like Pokémon cards) on our Italian holiday this summer 😂

Yep, it's reached Year 2 already. We had a whole table of Year 2s saying 6-7 throughout lunch two weeks ago. Better than "What the sigma?" "Skibiti toilet Ohio" etc but irritating nonetheless. It will move on to some other brain rot.

It was.mentioned on Thought for the Day so it will be gone soon. There'll be something else daft though.

Yellow car!

It’s kids being idiots. Some basketball player said it and it became a meme and kids use it as a hilarious brainrot phrase.

It’ll die soon. Just like ‘25’ (from SpongeBob) stopped being a thing for Millenials.

Were you this worried about loom bands abd fidget spinners? Why would it be concerning?

its Bloody annoying as is sigma
