Six Seven

Six Seven (interjection / noun / Internet & Gen Alpha Slang)

(Also heard as: 6-7, 67, Doot Doot)

Definition:

A deliberately meaningless catchphrase shouted for fun, usually with a hand gesture where both palms face up and move up and down like a set of scales. It can mean “so-so”, “maybe” or absolutely nothing, which is exactly the point.

Where It Comes From:

It comes from “Doot Doot (6 7)”, a drill track by American rapper Skrilla that leaked in late 2024 and was officially released in February 2025. Video edits of basketball star LaMelo Ball, who is 6 ft 7 in, sent it viral, and an Overtime Elite player nicknamed “Mr. 6-7” helped it spread further. Skrilla has said he never gave the numbers a set meaning, and Dictionary.com named “67” its 2025 Word of the Year.

How People Actually Use It:

Mostly kids and teens, who shout it out of nowhere, answer questions with it or use it as a reaction when nothing else fits. It became so disruptive in classrooms that some schools banned it, and it topped most-searched slang lists in 2026 in the US, Australia and South Africa. If a child shouts it at you in the shop, that is genuinely all there is to it.

Examples in the Wild:

• “How did the maths test go?” “Six seven.”

  Meaning: It was so-so, or I cannot be bothered to explain.

• “What time does the bus come?” “6-7!”

  Meaning: A random joke answer that does not mean anything.

• “If I hear six seven one more time, you are all in detention.”

  Meaning: The phrase is so overused that the teacher has had enough.
