All the kids are saying it. Teachers are banning it. South Park did an episode about it. And it was just named Dictionary.com’s 2025 Word Of The Year. So where did 6-7 come from? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Rosie did some research to get to the bottom of it all, including getting the scoop from Official JTG Kidz Correspondents: her 12-year-old nephew Malekai and 6-year-old twin nieces Layla and Layelle. (And yes, she mixes them up during the interview.)

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this:

Video of the entire restaurant cheering when order ‘67’ is called at an In-N-Out Burger

South Park clip from the recent ‘6-7’ episode (this explains it better than anything tbh)
