Deaf people - 258 (very interesting) and 84 (there's no good direct translation for this)
Huh, I had never considered deaf slang before. Is there somewhere to read up on this?
Hmm, it's hard to think of good resources for this. It's just kinda part of community. You could google asl slang and look around in YouTube or something. Or learn asl (or your country's sign language) and join the community.
Found a link with a short quip about 258 lol
Maybe not a teen thing, but among children I think "because 789" could bring 789 into the discussion.
Teens in different countries have different funny numbers too funny enough. There is a thing influencing multiple civilizations to do this.
31 is funny in Turkey.
67 sneaking onto the ‘funny numbers’ list is hilarious—teens are basically a standards committee now.
Needs to add my favorite number: 8647
and 1312
