You’ve probably heard kids saying ‘6,7’ and laughing hysterically. It recently happened to Vice President JD Vance. His son Vivek has caught the numerical fever and was repeating those numbers during church. Whatever the reasons for these digits' popularity, Vance says he is ready to ban them for good.
Here’s more. (READ)
Yesterday at church the Bible readings started on page 66-67 of the missal, and my 5-year-old went absolutely nuts repeating "six seven" like 10 times. And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the first amendment and ban these numbers forever.

Where did this even come from? I don't understand it. When we were kids all of our viral trends at least had an origin story.

If you’re old enough, the reasons certain jokes went viral were pretty clear. Tasteless jokes about the Space Shuttle Challenger and Ethiopia were obvious given their context.
But this new viral joke is confounding adults. Even many of the youngsters repeating it don’t know why it’s supposed to be funny or what it means, as commenters found out.
I have the same question. Last night at the Christmas parade, a kid was hanging out the window of a pickup hauling the float and yelling “6-7” at everyone 😂

‘6,7’ Huh?
A few posters seem to have cracked the code, and it's a bit disturbing.
It's originally from a rap song and refers to a 10-67 "body found" police radio code. It was then later used in a youtube basketball video, I believe referring to someone's height, erroneously.

My daughter says it’s the height of a basketball player, originating from a rap song. 🤷♀️

TRUE ORIGIN - Skrilla (from PA) lyrics about killing some with a full-auto Glock:

“Shooter stay strapped, I don't need mine
Bro put belt right to they behind
The way that switch brrt, I know he dyin' (oh my, oh my God)
6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (bip, bip)” pic.twitter.com/akrfTnVve9
"Doot Doot" by Skrilla, The average height of an NBA player is 6'7". The Skrilla track is associated with LaMelo Ball of the NBA who is 6'7" tall.

Wait, that’s it? Other posters posited it originated with Shakespeare’s Richard II, and another claimed it was an episode of The Golden Girls. Even more said it was demonic in origin. Pretty sure Satan-worshipping teens are not digging into 16th-century stage plays and 80s Florida retiree sitcoms for viral material.
One thing posters agree on is that the numbing number trend must end.
We need an EO to shut this "joke" down forever.

This is one issue that should unite Republicans and Democrats.

With 2028 approaching, Vance could be the uniter-in-chief we all need. Just have to get past oh-6 and oh-7. ‘6,7!’ Great.
