Have you ever wondered why people love fall so much?
If you’re a parent or teacher, you may have witnessed students giggling or struggling to contain themselves when “67” or the sequence of numbers “six seven” is heard or
seen.
“Six sevennnnnn,” kids may respond, drawing out how they pronounce the second digit and moving their hands up and down in opposite motions. For a visual on this phenomenon, check out this recent Instagram post from Los Alamitos Unified School District taken during a visit to a classroom at Weaver Elementary. Math teachers, especially, aren’t strangers to hearing laughter erupt when the number is the answer to an equation.
What’s so amusing about “six seven”? These numbers represent the latest slang trend that Generation Z and Generation Alpha can’t seem to get enough of. It’s become a rare case of students across all ages and backgrounds adopting the same phrase and somehow incorporating it into their daily conversations.
“My understanding is that it was just a silly video that
somebody saw, and then that they shared it, and it blew up and everybody has seen it now. And so, because everybody else is doing it, it becomes popular and funny,” said Mrs. Gallagher, an algebra teacher at Los Alamitos High School who has experienced what happens when the phrase comes up in class.
It’s not just math classes where “six seven” is uttered. It pops up in other classes as well.
If a teacher asks for “six or seven sentences,” or if an assignment should only take “six to seven minutes,” students may, at the very least, grin, acknowledge the trend and maybe engage in the hand motion.
Some students love to use the phrase, while others view the trend as unnecessary and the latest example of a brain-rot term popularized via social media.
“I hate ‘six seven’ so I don’t (use it),” said......Here's the rest of the story.
Over the next few months, crews will be working behind k-rail on eastbound and westbound Katella Avenue between the freeway and Epson Way. Work includes relocating utilities, reconstructing the sidewalks and performing roadway work to make room for a new bike lane.
