67

67 (also written as six-seven or 6-7) is a playfulnonsensical line of slang that's gained traction among Gen Alpha and Gen Z on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. It comes from the repeated lyric in the rap song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Skrillawhich was released on December 12024.

There are many interpretations of the phrasewith people claiming:

• It refers to the height of NBA player LaMelo Ballwho stands 6'7" (the song is often paired with video edits of Ball).
• It's a reference to 67th Street in Philadelphiawhere Skrilla is from.
• It's a reference to the meaningless "mangos and mustard" trend popular among Gen Alpha ("mangos" has 6 characters and "mustard" has 7 characters)
• It comes from street culturewhere "67" may mean "get lost."
• It has religious significancecoming from Psalm 67where all nations are called to know Godbut some choose humanity (6) over God (7).

While there are many claims as to what "67" actually meansmany people use it in a nonsensical manner (including in memes)much like skibidi and yeet. Teens and tweens often say it in a monotonerhythmic way or pair it with a quirky hand gesture as if they are balancing or juggling two weights with their hands. Thereforeto manythe slang has become an in-jokeoften shouted in class or dropped in group chats to spark amusement or mild confusion.
