Dictionary.com's Word of the Year for 2025 is . . . "6-7" . . . a slang term kids can't stop using.  The irony is it's meaningless. . or not . . . no one knows.

Your kid would tell you it came from the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by rapper Skrilla.  But even he can't explain what it means.

Dictionary.com defines it as "a viral, ambiguous slang term" that's "largely nonsensical."  But they say it CAN mean "so-so" or "maybe this, maybe that."

In general, they say it's just an example of "brainrot slang."  Meaning, a term intended to be "playfully absurd."
