All the fun numbers were already taken by previous generations, so I guess they had to come up with something, even if it's completely meaningless

I don't get what the annoyance is with "6-7". I've been using it for years and it just means "approximately" or "thereabouts".

The way my kids use it, it doesn't mean anything. They just say it randomly in a drawn out voice.

Can you use it in a sentence?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be there approximately 6-7 thereabouts.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 2 points 18 minutes ago

That doesn't sound like you're using it to mean "thereabouts" given that you have the word "thereabouts" in the sentence...

I think its whole thing is that it doesn't really mean anything; it's literally just an empty trigger word

At least 67 isn't a sex thing.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 37 points 5 hours ago

Not with that attitude >:)

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 17 points 4 hours ago

Eww, sex! Get it away from me!

In cantonese 67 sounds like euphemism for dick.
