67 (Six-Seven)
At Peak🧒Middle SchoolDefinition
From the song 'Doot Doot (6 7)' by Skrilla, which went viral through basketball edits featuring LaMelo Ball (who is 6'7" tall). The term has no fixed meaning. It's a burst of energy, a vibe, a hand gesture where both palms go up and down alternately. Dictionary.com named it the 2025 Word of the Year, which tells you everything about where language is heading.
Translation for Parents
Your kid is saying 'sixty-seven' and doing a wobbly hand gesture and you're wondering if you should be concerned. You shouldn't. It's from a song, it went viral on basketball TikTok, and it basically means... nothing? Or everything? The creator of the song literally said he never put an actual meaning on it. It's pure vibes. Some kids use it to mean 'so-so' or 'it is what it is.' Some just yell it for fun. Schools have banned it because kids won't stop doing the hand gesture. Dictionary.com made it the Word of the Year. We live in interesting times.
Examples
“Bro that dunk was 67 fr”
“That dunk had amazing energy (or was just exciting in a way I can only express with a number)”
“How was the test? Eh, 67”
“The test was so-so, not great not terrible”

Grounds for emancipation
If you start doing the 67 hand gesture at dinner, your children will leave the table. Which, honestly, is a power move if you want the leftovers to yourself. Dictionary.com's Word of the Year, by the way. We're all doing great.
