Can you imagine the hilarity in my house when I was talking about something (can’t recall what) and dc asked “how many?” And I replied “about 6 or 7”

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.

I’ve also fully embraced it and the kids I teach find it hilarious. When they’re working really hard and have completed a task I’ll usually drop it in as some light relief.

Embrace it OP
We've got 6/7 minutes left to break/lunch/home time so I hope you're locked in or you'll be cooked!

Wikipedia says: It originated from the repeated lyric "6-7" in the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Skrilla, which was used on social media in video edits of professional basketball players such as LaMelo Ball who is 6 ft 7 in (2.01 meters) tall,[2][3] and popularized further by Overtime Elite player Taylen "TK" Kinney because of viral clips showing his repeated use of "6-7".
