What does "6 7" mean?

"6 7" is a phrase that went viral, and nobody agrees on what it means.

It comes from a 2024 rap song, "Doot Doot (6 7)" by the rapper Skrilla. The phrase spread through short videos, and it caught on with kids in school. A video of two kids, one shouting the phrase while the other juggles his hands, is often cited as the moment it took off.

So what does it mean?

Nobody knows for sure. Some people say it means "so-so" or "maybe this, maybe that." The dictionary Merriam-Webster calls it a nonsensical expression, used a lot by teens and tweens. Many kids say it because it is funny and it gets a reaction from grown-ups.

Keep it kind

Saying a silly phrase is fine. Using it to tease or hurt someone is not. If it turns into teasing, tell a grown-up you trust.
