A non-sensical and ambivalent word gets into the dictionary. If that is the case then release the jibber jabber for all! Who needs to communicate when we have our governments to tell us what to do and think!! /s
I literally only heard of it last week. Was it really that big of a trend to be considered the word of the year?
Just heard it 30 minutes ago and was confused
I ~~literally~~ only heard of it last week. Was it really that big of a trend to be considered the word of the year?
Yes. Old people just lag on these things.
I'm middle-aged with small children. Only heard of this a few days ago.
Only middle agers think middle age isn't old. I don't make the rules.
Only young people think middle age is old. I figure I've got another 20 until I really start falling apart.
And late to the lingo, nonetheless, darn skibidi.
I can hear your broccoli haircut from here..
It's grey, but loud, 2 tru. Bet.
Fr no cap bro
I'm a terminally online loser who spends way too much time looking at memes. This one has been around for at least 3 months.
I’m middle age with tween and teen kids and have been hearing that shit all year.

it's been going on for like 6 to 7 months
Six seveeeeeeen.... "hahaha" it's sooooo funny! Aaaaanyway, Epstein files!
My friends will continue to intentionally and enthusiastically mis-use all the kid-pidgin as a form of sarcastic performance art, as it has so far achieved the main goal of embarrassing their two girls into never using any of it. They speak like people, instead of vapid 'gram zombies; at least at home.
Speak to your kids like little adults and their speech and vocabulary explodes. They also sense the respect that many adults don't give them. I loathe adults that talk down to children.
My friend has a toddler and I always spoke to her like a regular person who just happened to not know things. She seemed to respect it a lot.
Yes! Treat them as ignorant, not stupid. Asked my ex-wife why kids like me when I'm don't like them so much. "You talk to them like real people. They get that."
I do this too. I’ll come home and say “heyyy 6-7-8 my bruhs!” and their eyes will roll right out of their skulls.
I'm trying, but they think I'm in the joke and love it. thought id get ahead and use it so they will cringe, but it backfired. now my house uses the 67 joke unironically
It isn't even on Dictionary.com though?
"Six seven" doesn't have any results either
Least jank <generic object >.com site
I tough it was "where are the epstein files"
Other terms that made the shortlist of finalists for this year's Word of the Year included "agnetic,"
Surely they mean "agentic", right? Right???
I searched for "agnetic" to see if I was out of the loop and it's kind of funny, kind of sad. I found a lot of what I guess is AI slop that took a typo and just ran with it. Like this one: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/clash-intelligences-agnetic-ai-vs-agent-explained-robin-biwre
Agnetic AI is a newer conceptual framework that extends beyond the traditional agent-based model. The term "Agnetic" is derived from the word "magnetic," signifying its dynamic, adaptive nature.
https://www.agnetic.ai/ also looks like slop, but it's realllllly hard to distinguish between AI bullshit and traditional tech marketing bullshit.
"Slop" ought to be another word that's gained popularity in use. I'm still having trouble with it, mainly because I think it's overused a lot in short insults and dismissals of things. Not aimed at you here, at least you define WHY you consider it in that category. I'm talking more the "AI slop" that mirrors the "fake news" or "git gud" or any other reply that avoids actual discussion and screams "I hate this, but have nothing more to contribute".

Traditional tech marketing bullshit is also slop. It just isn't always AI slop.
Isn't "6 7" supposed to be a rating? Somebody does something and you rate it mid by giving it a 6 or maybe a 7 on a scale of 10. Why on earth would this semantic meaning come from a basketball player's height?
No, it's from a rap song, but almost everybody doesn't have the context. Just tell the middle-school kids that it really means a 10-67, that at least for the rapper's local police codes, means they found a dead body.
All of the other theories are made up.
No. It’s just “6-7”. It is not supposed to be a rating or something with actual meaning at all. It’s just a pattern.

For fuck's sake...
Even the kids that say it don't even take it that seriously and are 100% aware that it is just brainrot, at least from what I have seen. Although, I do still enjoy saying "sixty seven" to my nephew whenever it comes up.
I made this comment go from 6 to 7 upvotes
I did the same to yours.
Yep. My little kids were giggling over skibidi last year. It's fun because it's nonsensical. Kid's love shit like that.
some say it can be interpreted as another way of saying "so-so," "maybe this" or "maybe that," the dictionary states.
pronounced "six-seven" and never "sixty-seven," the dictionary notes
A number?
6 7, not 67
two
No surprise, I always thought 2025 was at sixes and sevens.
Right, kick ass. Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like..
Wait. Where's your tattoo
Disgusting..
Well at least it isn't tradwife
Ah lawd jeesis help us lawd
