Six... Seven

[Loulouli]

Help... I can't get this out of my head anymore. (I do have a 10 year old at home)... Anyone else going mad ...

You called?

I say it all the time lately .. even demonstrating the actions!

What came after 6?
789

Yes, I have a teenager and an 11 year old! 🙃

?????? (I'm 61🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Oh god I know

It's everywhere

67 is the number of threads I've seen on this recently.

Oh God, it doesn’t stop in this household! 😂
DS10 started repeatedly saying it, with actions…
This was then copied by DS6, on repeat…
Then DD2 picked it up… it’s constant!
Very glad 5 month old DD doesn’t speak yet.

Finally, I was sorting school shirts out the other night, one lot into size 10-11, the other is wearing 6-7, and I can hear the internal voice reading the labels: six… seven… 🤷‍♀️
I’m dying inside 🤯🤣

It’s horrible. It wants shooting! 🤪

Teacher here. Maths is ruined. The utter ridiculousness of this. An answer is 67, they're laughing. I said the 6 or 7 times tables, they're laughing. Absolutely ruined maths forever. We are going to have to delete those numbers from the number system before every teacher of y3-y10 goes insane or quits 🤣🤣🤣

Don't think year 11s (or English teachers) are immune!

"Turn to page 66"

"Are you sure miss, I think we left it on 6...7..."

It's not the first and won't be the last trend that has teachers wanting to quit. Take every annoying thing your own children say and multiply it by a frequency of 280 or something like that and...yeah, it's frickin' annoying.

Weak acids or neutral pH.
Carbon proton number.
Using a quadrat along a transect.
Measuring the extension of a spring.

To name just a few!

Science is getting difficult to teach.

Last teaching day this term, today.

Might teach the little loves the Steps song...5,6,7,8!

Edited: for spelling 😬

Oh this brain rot stuff is driving me mad-we have also been treated to "skibidi" "looksing max" and some weird story about some bloke being cheated on by his wife.

It's.. weird.

Surely you make them do their 6 or 7 times table every single time. You say six seven, you do you tables or a series of arithmetic using those numbers.
I did hear about a maths teacher setting a quiz where every answer was 6 7 which I thought was fun.

You just lost the game.. it’s just the latest irritating thing to say, kinda the ‘the game’ of our kids generation

It starts early. My kids are only 5, and came home from school asking what does “6,7” mean!

Could be worse, could be 69

What does it mean though?

Im not down with the kids! My dd5 was most annoyed by everyone saying 6,7 yesterday, so it appears she isn't down with the kids either!

What’s interesting is how many kids are freely able to watch TikTok at such young ages, not judging but it says a lot.

If they’re being influenced by 67 then it highlights the potential of how insidious the algorithm could be- everyone’s doing it….

What is it? I just asked chat GPT and that didn’t know either 🥴

No I don’t but this is about the 67th post I’ve seen about it, so yeah, pretty annoying.

@Iwasneverafan Ha! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/oct/20/six-seven-latest-slang-should-parents-be-worried

Not sure you'll be any wiser after reading that though...😂

My DCs (13 and 15) tell me it has already peaked and is getting less popular. "Like, year TWOs are saying it now!" (cue eyeroll)

In 20 years they'll get all nostalgic about it and be posting six sevens on social media, in an ironic way

I was aware of the phenomenon, then heard it in real life yesterday for the first time.

It was in a “naice” school, uttered by one boy who looked to his peers to join in. Instead … tumbleweed! 😆

Thankfully it’s not everywhere yet!

😁🤣

My DS got a bollocking from his childminder yesterday for saying the dreaded 67.
He was actually counting how big his forehead was with his fingers on it but she heard him get up to 6 7.
As I have no idea about what it means we googled it and it seemed pretty ok until we watched a rap music video on YouTube with 6 7 in it and it seemed to be about gun violence so I’ve asked him not to say it again.
All the kids seem to be saying it, the bloody “skibidi” phase drove me mad. The kids are also singing “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday…” when things go wrong. Hopefully 6 7 will fade away.

Thanks …. I think😵‍💫🤣🤣
I’d hate to be a kid now 🥴
