Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One o six seven Oh Light FM. That's right, Coubby
and Christine Kristen one oh six seven.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are six seven.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Do the hand motions?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Okay, I'm sorry one oh six seven.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Wish people can.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
See this, I know right now, and honestly we have
no idea what we're doing of course. Yeah. Dictionary dot
Com came out with their word of the Year of
twenty twenty five and it's six seven, which nobody can
really explain. Like, I feel like we as adults, right,
I use that term loosely. I try to put like

(00:39):
our own meaning on it, Like on a scale of
one to ten, it's six seven, meaning like it's okay,
it's meth, it's midland, it's mid but she's nod mid mid.
But that's not what it is, Like I said, adult.
I just use the term very, very loosely. Yeah, six
to seven is mainly for the tweens, and they can't

(01:03):
even tell you what it means. So dictionary dot Com
says it's part of what they call brain rot slang,
which is language that's intentionally absurd, meant to be funny, cryptic,
and shared among those in the know. So six to
seven is part inside joke, part social signal, part performance.
When people say it, they're not just repeating a meme,
they're shouting a feeling. It's kind of you're in the

(01:25):
same social group if you're using six seven, and if
you're asking what it means, they're laughing at you.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
So there's no right or wrong answer.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
The kind of isn't They can't give you an answer.
We don't know if it comes from a basketball player
that's six foot seven or from a song. No one
can really tell you, except they're using it so much
that certain schools are banning banning it six seven. It's
getting on their nerves, teacher's nerves, like.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
You have to go to the principal's office.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, and it might be worth it to some of
those kids. They can go crazy when they hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I know it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Do we have any of these sayings as a kid,
I just remember, like, no, duh, that's all we had.
I mean when we were a kid, Kristin, would you.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
We totally had these sayings, But I don't but you
understood them well, right, I was gonna say, I don't
remember like the adults that your mama, the parents talk
to the hand. Yeah, got served that a lot. Yeah,
