I don't get it either but me using it is a great way to annoy my kids.

It originated as a brag - a basketball player said it like "I am 6' 7", therefore I am a high quality male and women should reproduce with me". Then shorter people picked up on it

It’s the Waaaasssssuuuupppp of the Gen Alpha.

> It’s literally just saying 6-7. No, I don’t get it either.

A linguist goes into the meme and it's history:

You not getting it is the main point of the saying: it's slang term that young folks (in-group) are using to differentiate themselves from the not-young folks (out-group).

Sounds like the point was both achieved and obvious.

It just gets stuck in your head and is something to laugh at. The kids who are into it are too young to remember the other catch phrases we got into. My four year old repeats it all the time, which keeps it stuck in my head.

I'm just waiting for Sesame Street to declare 6 and 7 the numbers of the day.

Oh my gosh, my six year old just said it to me today. What is going on?!
