67 is a near homophone to a curse word in cantonese:

碌柒 meaning dickhead

As a native Cantonese speaker, this will always be my official meaning for this

I'm gonna start spreading this around. It's much better than the existing definition.

From Charlie Barnett

"My favorite position is 68. She does me and I owe her one."

69 is eternal, or at least as long as Arabic numerals remain in use. 67 does not replace 69, it lives alongside it. But 69 will outlast it. It was first referenced in 1790 https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/69/ and will be repeatedly rediscovered by future generations

I asked my nine year old daughter, and she said it doesn't mean anything, it's just brain rot to confuse the adults.

Joke’s on your daughter, I am already confused.

[-] homologous@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

I think its whole thing is that it doesn't really mean anything; it's literally just an empty trigger word

No soap radio.

It originates from a discussion about a guy's height, he was 6 foot 7 inches. However, that's not really important to how it's used, it's just a mindless phrase to say.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It originates from "Doot Doot" by Skrilla [Dec '24], got associated with LaMelo Ball (basketball player), hijacked and force-memed by Taylen Kinney (basketball player, hand gesture starts here) [Jan '25], kids chasing highlight reel clout start doing this at games and Maverick Trevillian (the blonde kid in the memes) gets lucky [March '25]. Full-steam-ahead brainrot evolution from there, memes referencing memes with none of the original layers of context.

At least 67 isn't a sex thing.

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Eww, sex! Get it away from me!

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

I don't get what the annoyance is with "6-7". I've been using it for years and it just means "approximately" or "thereabouts".

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago

The way my kids use it, it doesn't mean anything. They just say it randomly in a drawn out voice.

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago

Can you use it in a sentence?

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

I cannot. You can only realise it's been used after it has already happened. I can try to think of a sentence all day but I will not come up with one because it can only come naturally.
