Kids today are obsessed with saying "6-7" for no clear reason. It's become a big trend in schools, much to the annoyance of some teachers. The phrase doesn't mean anything, but that's part of the fun for kids. They use it to feel like they belong to a group. It's like a secret code that only they understand.
The phrase "6-7" comes from a song called "Doot Doot (6 7)" by a rapper named Skrilla. In the song, 6-7 refers to a police code for reporting a death. But kids don't care about that. They just like saying it. A basketball player named Taylen Kinney also helped make the phrase popular. He used it in a video where he rated a Starbucks drink. After that, kids started using it everywhere.
The phrase has even become a part of school life. Teachers are trying to deal with it in different ways. Some ban it, while others use it to control the class. One teacher even added it to a warm-up song to keep kids from shouting it out. But no matter what teachers do, kids keep saying it. They like the reaction they get from adults.
Some people worry that kids saying "6-7" all the time is a sign of "brainrot. " But experts say it's just normal behavior. Every generation has its own slang that adults don't understand. It's not a big deal. In fact, it might even be a good thing. It shows that kids are creative and like to have fun.
The phrase might not last much longer. Kids are already starting to get tired of it. Some are even trying to replace it with other nonsense phrases like "41. " But for now, "6-7" is still a big part of school life. And who knows? Maybe one day, adults will look back and miss it.
