I and my husband have no idea what on earth 6 7 is! And we want it to stop. would anyone recommend a recipe to 1 day blinding stew to sort him out???

The best way to kill it is to start doing it yourself.

I heard my 10 year old say to a friend the other day "6 7 is so played now. People need to move on." So hopefully we'll be on to something else equally stupid soon, and you're just entering prime meme culture age....

It's just a phase, it doesn't mean anything, just ignore it and wait until it passes..Or you could join in and say it at random times too!

I read out a code today that contained 67 and my Year 2 child immediately told me it was rude to say. So of course I said nonsense and said it several times in quick succession.

I have no idea how it's come to be rude.

What is the context, are the kids just randomly saying 'six seven' in the way my generation randomly said 'fnar'? Or are they saying it in response to something?

He is a bit late. It's fading, don't worry.

It isn’t, my teens still mention it every day and we even walked past a van earlier that had it written all over it (with the dust 😐)
