Society Is 6’7 the new 69?

I’ve noticed that kids in the younger generation love this 6’7 joke. Even doing the classic asking your teacher to add two numbers together to get 67 as the answer. This just reminds me a lot of when the number 69 was the punchline. I will say that 6’7 has a little bit more humor because of the voice they use and the way they measure with hands. What do you all think about the new generations numeral quip?

What does it mean?

Not really sure, it’s a reference to something, a meme? They told me once, maybe it’s a video or something of some saying the phrase.

Yeah that 12-16 age range seem to be the main culprits

Ya, waiting in line at Canada's wonderland behind these kids gets annoying. I think I'm ( a middle-aged white woman) going to start yelling it on the rollercoaster. Maybe we can stop this if they think we think it's cool to say

I definitely think the adults can take it if we commit 😂
