Got kids? Has your son or daughter suddenly started saying “six-seven” while doing some weird little hand gesture — and you haven’t got a Scooby what they’re talking about?
Don’t worry. We’ve looked into it so you don’t have to.
6-7 originally came from rapper Skrilla’s song Doot Doot (6 7) before spreading through TikTok, memes and basketball videos.
NBA player LaMelo Ball got dragged into it too — conveniently, he’s 6ft 7in tall — and the whole thing just kept getting bigger.
Eventually, 6-7 became one of those things kids say because other kids are saying it. There’s no single definition you can learn that’ll suddenly make the conversation make sense.
In fact, that’s sort of the point.
So next time your kid’s saying “6-7” with their mates, probably doing that weird little hand gesture and giggling away, while you’re standing there wondering what the fuck they’re laughing at…
Now you know.
After all that, what does 6-7 actually mean…?
It actually means…
Fuck all!
