Who would have thought?
Kids these days can’t get enough of saying the brain-rotting slang term, “6-7.” If you’re scratching your head, wondering what in the world it means — it’s basically meaningless.
Yet, some are trying to say that the illogical term dates back to medieval times, which sounds like a stretch.
After David Marcus, a columnist for Fox News Digital, heard his teen try to explain to him what exactly “6-7” means, a lightbulb went off for him.
He believes that the brainless term stems from a decades-old dice game called Hazard at the time, now known as craps.
“In the game, a player would call out the number he was trying to shoot for, or make, with two six-sided dice. Five, eight and nine were the most likely results. Six and seven, gamblers quickly discovered either through math or experience, offered lower odds and hence less chance of winning,” Marcus wrote in his opinion piece.
“From then on, six and seven, taken together, became forever associated with risk and worry. It can be found in the works of Chaucer, and has marched quite steadily down through the centuries.”
Marcus took things a step further by correlating the nonsensical term to William Shakespeare. “I should to Plashy too, but time will not permit. All is uneven, and everything is left at six and seven,” is supposedly an expression he would use in his play “Richard II.”
He thinks it makes sense that today’s kids don’t really know what today’s usage of “6-7” means because history proves that the silly phrase is actually associated with “risk, worry and confusion,” according to the writer.
Despite the history lesson, the obsession with shouting “6-7” has gotten so out of hand amongst kids, especially elementary age, that police in Indiana are giving out fake “tickets” to any youngsters caught saying it.
The goal with this cheeky consequence is to keep parents sane.
“It is now against the law to use the words ‘six’ and ‘seven’ unless using them in a math problem or someone’s age,” a deputy at Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media video.
