Are your teen boys spouting this “6 7” nonsense?

[Rollergirl11]

I work in a secondary school and it’s driving me bonkers!!!

Honestly, being a maths teacher is nightmare enough without adding another bloody new thing to the list
also to avoid:
69
420
shortening cumulative frequency to cum freq
tossing coins in probability and getting heads
talking about going down for negative correlation
drawing a discorectangle in loci questions (looks like a penis)
drawing a pulley diagram in mechanics (looks like a cock and balls)

I had to laugh at this 😂

I can just imagine this happening

Yes, DS was laughing at me because I said something was at sixes and sevens and he showed me the clip that went viral of the boys saying six seven at the basketball game.

aarrrghhhh!!! i work in a junior school and it drives me nuts🤣🤣 seems to be year 4 - 6 in my school i swear i hear it in my sleep now

What is it?! I am too scared to google …

It’s nothing rude

My 13 year old said it once and I asked what it was and he had no idea but said no one did and it was just a thing. He’s not said it again. My 10 year old has no idea about it I don’t think. Nightmare for school teachers when kids get obsessed about something like this!

Yes yes yes. Not teen boys though. I have a 9 year old DD saying it. And in a certain tone too. Every time she says it I repeat it and then carry on the 8, 9, 10 in a positively annoying tone. She is starting to say it less now as I am making ‘everything so cringey and embarrassing’
I work in finance, was talking on phone to a client and mentioned £67.00 from the other room a very loud 6 7 came. My client replied ‘oh no not your kids too’ hers were doing the same.

Yes and she’s 8

yr 4

all talking about it ffs 😂

God, the youth of today are so annoying!

But then I can remember driving my mum to the edge with 'Cool' and 'Whatever' so...

Off topic: I never knew the locus of a point which moves so it’s a fixed distance from a line of finite length was called a discorectangle. I’ve always called it a stadium shape.
This comes from having to teach things which weren’t on the syllabus when I was at school.

When moving to a boys school I soon learned to talk about throwing coins.

I had to look up 420; thank goodness those boys didn’t meet at 4pm and call it 360 (3h 60m) or something.

That’s the funny thing, even if they have no clue what they’re on about, they join in anyway! Baaaaa

The first time my ds said it I insisted on playing “Don’t cry for me Argentina” to him. Whilst I sang along and wondered aloud if it came from that.

The second and third time I just trilled “at sixes and sevens with you” in a most operatic fashion.

Strangely there hasn’t been a 4th time. 😉

I have it on good authority (my teens) that ‘skibbidi’ and ‘riz’ are ‘just so yesterday, mum.
as an aside, when we were away over the summer i heard multiple children from different nationalities use social media parlance.
Who knew that Esperanto would be replaced by social media as a global language

There's always something doing the rounds at schools.

Mine are older now but I remember the water bottle flip thing that drove teachers mad ... and also the word Ebola got banned ... the slightest sneeze or cough and everyone would shout "Ebola".

Yes my DS said when their teacher told them (exam year) they would need to all ‘lock in’, there was collective cringe and avowal not to ever say that again.

😂 I cured more than one of my intervention groups at school of 'skibidi toilet' by using it as the phonics pattern of the week 🫡

😂😂😂

that’s brilliant!

10 years ago 21 did the rounds, hopefully 67 will soon be forgotten

I have fully embraced it and made it my own. Y8 loved it today (they really didn't!) when every answer in our starter was 67 or 6/7, and every single time I did the actions and the stupid voice. By the end of that lesson all of them had begged me to stop.

That wouldn't work with every child but my y8s are unlikely to do it again in my earshot in case I join in again.

Hahaha you legend!

I said it to my son, and he was absolutely full of disdain! So I said it a few time randomly.. cause u know.. it’s fun to irritate ur teen by acting like an idiot at times lol

Al least skibidi toilet has gone the way of the dinosaurs

My DD is in fresher's week and a pub was selling 67's shots for 67p which was a bargain! 😄

I teach year 1. They have started on it too. There is a thing every year. Back in the old days it used to just go around a year group or school but now these things spread across the country.
