In my language, “6 7” reads “six sept”, which sounds like “cis het”, a shorten form for “cisgender heterosexual”.
We had Pauly Shore and valleyspeak so I really can’t say anything about any other generations slang.
calling it slang is…a stretch.
I guess it was kind of a whole vernacular, but there was a lot of slang in there. Oh you mean the OP… yes I suppose lol.
It means that the ultimate question to life, the universe, and everything is what is 6 times 7
I see you had a functional scrabble bag to pull from.
Millennials losing their minds over this when we used to shout ‘fuck your couch!’ and Rick James, Bitch! all the time, before memes were a thing.
I suppose memes have always been memes, but they were simply auditory before
Those words mean things. They might not make a lot of sense in the context we used them in, but they formed a thought.
6-7 isn’t even a semi complete concept on the surface of it. It’s literally devoid of any meaning at all.
We are living in the dumbest times imaginable, so I find this quite fitting.
In my day. we just quoted Monty Python and everyone would laugh at how clever you were. This is effectively the same thing.
No one expects the 6-7 imposition!
you’re breaking my balls with that
Back in uni when I’d go out drinking I’d be walking through campus and people would just randomly scream out “WHAT!'” And someone else would scream out “OKAY!”
There were many "fuck yo couch"es too
Wait a sec… I never said that first one. JD is that you?
The real meaning:
a plausible explanation with an excellent linguistic deep dive on the entire vernacular terrain.
TYVM for the link.
This meme is like a Rosetta stone for genz communication

My understanding was rap song (possibly a reference to violence) -> used in TikToks especially basketball -> said by a kid at a basketball game while doing an excited hand gesture -> went viral from that and now kids just shout out for funsies, because kids do silly things.
It’s funny how people don’t seem to remember being a kid. I can name you plenty of memes and in-jokes from middle school/high school where the “joke” was that it had literally no meaning. Adults being confused about kids these days only fuels the joke.
Like, has anyone lost the game recently? You think that’s any more high-brow?
Like, has anyone lost the game recently?
Not since XKCD #391. You’re welcome.
I lose the game every time someone shares a loss meme. I find that meme stupid so I happily share my loss of The Game to make everyone else suffer a loss with me!
Holds up spork
My spoon is too big!
And the only way to kill it is for adults to start saying it, usually incorrectly, as much as possible.
That would be pretty 6-7 of us adults to do.
We could shorten it to negative one because that’s six minus seven and shortening things and having to explain them makes them cooler
Almost like it’s imaginary
6-7 makes no sense because the root of 6-7 is literally imaginary 🤯
No, that’s the square root of negative one.
“Nut check!” [Blinding agony]
What’s the capital of Thailand?
I remember being a kid, and yet I do not remember any of the “lol random” things I thought were fucking hilarious except the phrase “penis wrinkle.” That shit still makes me laugh so hard it hurts.
I saw the original clip; the kid saying “six seven!” and doing a bobbling hand gesture looked and sounded pretty ridiculous and I can absolutely see how it would get turned into a meme, especially if you repeat it enough on TikTok-style short videos
Just saw a language Jones video about exactly this. Pretty much echoed the same thing.
Should probably link it here: https://youtu.be/laZpTO7IFtA
Lo ciento
6-7 or 10-67 is a police code often in reference to report a dead body.
Codes vary dramatically from one jurisdiction to the next.
apparently it’s the code from philly, skrillex’s home town, who wrote the song that started all this.
It means 42. Life, universe, all that…
Kids don’t even know they’re referencing a great author.
6-7 = -1 not 42 you silly goose.
Sure, but what do you get if you multiply six by nine?
An orgasm.
I’m not certain that’s accurate.
You don’t even math modulo 42 do you?
Modulo 43, otherwise -1 would be congruent to 41

I assumed it was a why is 6 afraid of 7 thing.
Because 7 is a registered 6 offender.
67 is my favorite current meme.
My understanding: It means the opposite of 42. And it gets funnier every time someone is baffled by it.
From what I understand, it’s a reference to a hip hop song that got popular on tick tock that has 67 mentioned in it because that is the police code for body found
I really haven’t seen any 67 memes on Lemmy. Am I missing something?
The freshest memes are in shortform video content, not here.
A connection to young people
Not a lemmy meme. It’s kids these days.
only time i see it when people are having this conversation
Its from rap its referring to a 1067 some guy boasting about killing someone
Yep, it’s from Doot Doot, by Skrilla, and made its way from rap, to basketball (meaning to coldly score against someone or out perform them)… And now white people are saying it thinking it just means nothing because the internet is kooky.
Hell yeah, 106.7 kroq!
Well it’s the kiddo lingo, just like goo goo gaa gaa they always mean nothing.
