Douglas Adams approves.
Meanwhile, Skrilla himself is using interest in the meme to turn “Doot Doot” into his personal “You’re So Vain” or “American Pie”.
The phrase “six, seven,” is essentially meaningless, and Skrilla has admitted as much, telling the Wall Street Journal: “I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to,” claiming the absence of meaning is “why everybody keeps saying it.”
I have a four year old grandson that says it. He has no more idea what it means than I do.
It’s the modern take on “no soap, radio”.
(And i see i was Ninja’d by a few hours.)
Kids these days! I swear.
It’s not that I feel kids shoudn’t have slang. Like every generation, we had our own slang. And like every generation, we knew our slang was cool and all the others were lame-o.
It’s that I want to be cool again. And sadly, I know that’s not how this works.
It’ll happen to you!
The next time they say 6-7, reply 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.
6x7 = 42
Coincidence? I think not.
It all fits!
My high school kids think it’s hilarious. The other day one of them asked how I was doing and I said “6-7” with the corresponding hand motion. They both looked at each other and laughed. My daughter told me that’s not how it’s used, but I objected. My son said it could be used like that “but…” And he didn’t have a good explanation. This then devolved into a five minute debate between the three of us (with me mostly trolling them) on how it’s used. No consensus between them other than that I shouldn’t be using it at all. 
Living a kid-free life these days I’d not heard of it before this thread. So from the OP I was trying to suss out a possible meaning.
My (mistaken) idea was that it stood for “Meh. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate this [whatever] a 6 to 7. So acceptable I guess. Barely. Yawn.”
You can see how that bored ennui-laden take on some humdrum lackluster event would really fit in with the current youthful zeitgeist.
I’m not 1337 enough to understand kids these days. They’d probably think I was L7 for even asking what the hell 6-7 means.
That’s the beauty of it, it doesn’t mean anything!
Kids these days with their fancy 64 bit crap. Back in my day it was just 4,294,967,295, and we liked it.
0X7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF to you, too!
This reminds me of another term my kids put over my head. Apparently I can’t say ´tone it down’ anymore?
Nothing to worry about, 'til she pulls out a lighter and starts waving it around.

Watch out. A mod could ban you from your family…
A few years ago there was a very successful comedian who did a TV show about nothing. Maybe these kids are on to something!
My local high schooler reports hearing it since this summer, and my local upper elementary schooler has been hearing it since the beginning of the school year. One of his teachers also teaches middle schoolers and he says he is getting a ton of it. (Neither of my kids is the type to do that kind of thing, so I have not actually been hearing a lot of it at home, though when the numbers 6 and 7 came up at some point, my younger one was like, “So… have you heard about…”)
You couldve saved me a google and given the alternative meaning; and damn my stupid company is blocking my attempt to google it!
Apparently the 6-7 craze is causing headaches at In-N-Out Burger, where groups of teens are gathering simply to wait for the staff to call order 67, and making a big fuss when they do.

It’s a dance move that looks like this:
