Do you remember making jokes about 69 when you were a kid? (Or maybe you still do...?)
So, I was mystified when the kiddos started laughing anytime I referred to 67. 67?!?
I was afraid to ask, but eventually I worked up the nerve. "Hey, what is this 6 or 7 thing all about?"
I did that a couple weeks ago, in the art class. And now that I know, I hear it everywhere. Seriously. Every. Where. All the kiddos refer to it. I hear it multiple times a day.
And because I'm a giving person, I thought you all might like to know about the current meme. (Because if I have to know...)
That's what started it. But what the kiddos are responding to...
So, yeah. If you're around any teens, say, "6 or 7". And watch their eyes light up. It's just so weird.
Jamie here: This is the first I've heard of all this!
ReplyDeleteIf you're not around teens, you wouldn't have heard it. So, as a public service, I present this to you.
DeleteFirst I've heard of it, too. Weird.
ReplyDeleteYou don't spend time around teens. There's no reason why you would have heard of it otherwise.
DeleteI just spent a delightful 10 minutes listening to Doot Doot for the first time. I spent most of the time googling words like boul and bipped and beglasse (which Google didn't even know). The only reference in the song I understood was baby shark, which probably means I'm pretty clueless. To be fair, the rap music I listened to in middle school didn't make a lot of sense then or now either. I think it's great you did some sleuthing. I would probably rap the baby shark part instead of 67, but that may cause some division! : D
ReplyDeleteUrban Dictionary. Whenever they come up with some term I'm unfamiliar with, I first go to Urban Dictionary (I believe it's just urbandictionary.com.) It rarely lets me down.
DeleteNew to me as well!
ReplyDeleteI figured.
DeleteInnocent and cute
ReplyDeleteNot when you're discussing something with a class, you ask a question, and someone has to respond, "six or seven". It gets very old, very fast.
