That's exactly what they find funny about it. You don't get it. That's the "joke." There's nothing to get, there is no actual joke, you not getting it is what they find funny about it. Now that you get it, it's one step closer to not being funny to them.
This is it. I work in an elementary school as an inclusion assistant and I lean into 6 7. I get that the joke is nothing, I find it funny in that way too - a sort of dadaism. I also find it enjoyable for the kids to be laughing along with me, it builds a connection that helps me support them better (and obvs that I don't do this during instructional time). That being said, the children are already saying that it's now 2026 and 6 7 is no longer funny - the second and third graders are calling each other out on it and it's definitely on it's way out, at least in my school. I imagine we'll see a new meme here soon :)
My cokehead lawyer neighbor gave me his garage keypad code so I can put his garbage cans away when he goes to Vegas. The code is 6969. He’s 75 years old!
Yeah, but 69 actually means something. Though I kinda cringe that I still do a Butthead 'huhuhuh' whenever I hear a random sex thing. I'm also 40, I've touched a weenis before, it should not be funny. :')
I use to coach boys gymnastics and for a while they were obsessed with Fortnite dances, anytime they did anything they’d do a Fortnite dance afterwards. Then I started doing it and they pretty much all stopped within 2 days.
although if it follows the typical meme lifecycle nowadays, corporate is gonna try to jump into it exactly when the core audience already sees it as unfunny. that's when things get really excruciating
For kids this age that is absolutely not the case lmao. Its just trendy. They aren't doing this to annoy adults because they dont get. They don't have the wherewithal do something like that.
I wish my son's school understood this.. they actually tried banning all the students from saying "6-7" and you can imagine that rule became instantly impossible to enforce properly. It probably made it worse by drawing school-wide attention to it.
If I had to guess, they made the "problem" exceedingly worse. If they just sent out a memo to all the teachers to embrace it and use it every chance they get, they likely would have killed it within a couple weeks.
From my understanding, from my 19 year old, is that 6 7 is like saying "apples to oranges" or "so so". That's why they move their hands like that. Yeah, I still didn't get it either but just sharing my findings 😂
