Social Spread of Slang Term “6-7”

Anytime, you hear a young person say 67, you should respond by singing "-5309. Jenny, I got your number. Hey, I didn’t know you kids liked that song."

Even better if you mash up with Stacy’s Mom and Jessie’s Girl.

I really didn’t know today’s kids were that easily amused. When do they usually say 6-7? Is it mostly just in the little videos?

Today I was teaching my third graders the game All Ten (which, give it a try, it’s pretty fun and more challenging than you’d think).

Whelp, showing that one to the boy. I think he’d love it.

We need to fight back.

Anytime, you hear a young person say 67, you should respond by singing "-5309. Jenny, I got your number. Hey, I didn’t know you kids liked that song."

I guarantee this will kill 67 within a week.

I admit, I just don’t get the desire for kids to not have things for themselves (that yes, sometimes try to exclude you/adults) that they enjoy and do you no harm. I’m sure kids think a lot of things you do are stupid and annoying, too, but they mostly don’t try to stop you from doing them…mostly.

That’s one of my favorite riddles to ask young kids. Recently, though, one of them surprised me. When I asked it, he replied, “because Six knew that Seven was after him.” I think that’s a way better answer.

That, and 7 is a registered 6 offender.

Ooh ! I like it.

It’s just not a version I can tell to little kids.

Oh, and funny story…

Just yesterday, I learned that not only is Jenny a prime, but she has an older twin sister: 8675309 and 8675311 are both prime. And I shared that fact with the other math teachers in our group chat. One of them responded with a link to that song, and another replied “He said 6 7!”.
