Life with two kids: magic numbers

[andrewducker]

Sophia, looking at her phone: "My battery is at 67%! Six sehvern!"
Gideon: "That's old, nobody says that any more"
Sophia: "Yeah, and school banned it"
Gideon: "Yeah, they abandoned it"

It's surreal to see the chain of tropes/memes spread through daycare. And the speed, faster than a rumour in a small town fast!

What did Gideon mean, "Nobody says that any more"? Was it the pronunciation of 7, or is it reading out numbers aloud, or what?

Seems kids were constantly shouting out '67’. Just some weird kid trend thing.

If you don't mind having your brain melted by popular teen internet culture you'll get as much explanation as there is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-7_meme

It is, thankfully, now dying away. Which is why Gideon said that nobody says it any more.

Those numbers came up in a meeting, and I made the "six-seven" gesture that was recently popular with the younger generations. Our intern, more than three decades younger than me, also said "Nobody says that any more".

Apparently once adults start using a popular meme, it becomes unpopular

There is nothing less cool than an adult

That's the way it's always been.

It's our fastest way to kill them!

How fast some memes pass.
