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

    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

    Isn't the joke "because 7 8 9" older than both?

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

    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.

    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.

    Jokes be subjective my man. What's funny to you is not to me and vice versa. So nonsense jokes exist, but you don't find them funny, doesn't mean it's not a joke, or funny to some. Whole web comics have been built on the premise. look up the white ninja. I find him hilarious.

    It isn't no meaning tho...

    And if kids laugh at it and it's just being silly who cares? What are you the funny police?

    It's a meme of a rap song of a someone saying that a guy plays like he's 6'7" even though he is 6'2".

    It caught on because the rap song does the motion with the hands and the kids just find it funny.

    Gotta love 67. It’s so ubiquitous it’s become meaningless. From basketball to 67 kid, it’s pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be.

    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".

    Can you use it in a sentence?

    That doesn't sound like you're using it to mean "thereabouts" given that you have the word "thereabouts" in the sentence...

    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.

    At least 67 isn't a sex thing.
