I'm out of the loop. The 42 reference I get, but the 67 reference I don't. Please release me from my suffering.

Saying 6-7 at random times is the gen-alpha "lulz pancake waffles XD"

This is just what I've heard, but apparently 67 comes from a rap song called Doot Doot by Skrilla. The 67 is a reference to the 10-67 police code for a report of death.

Allegedly. I doubt the kids are saying it for any reason though.
