From Charlie Barnett
"My favorite position is 68. She does me and I owe her one."

69 is eternal, or at least as long as Arabic numerals remain in use. 67 does not replace 69, it lives alongside it. But 69 will outlast it. It was first referenced in 1790 https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/69/ and will be repeatedly rediscovered by future generations
-
What does it even mean?
-
I think its whole thing is that it doesn't really mean anything; it's literally just an empty trigger word
-
No soap radio.

It originates from a discussion about a guy's height, he was 6 foot 7 inches. However, that's not really important to how it's used, it's just a mindless phrase to say.
-
It originates from "Doot Doot" by Skrilla [Dec '24], got associated with LaMelo Ball (basketball player), hijacked and force-memed by Taylen Kinney (basketball player, hand gesture starts here) [Jan '25], kids chasing highlight reel clout start doing this at games and Maverick Trevillian (the blonde kid in the memes) gets lucky [March '25]. Full-steam-ahead brainrot evolution from there, memes referencing memes with none of the original layers of context.

he was 6 foot 7 inches
So that is why it's not a thing in Europe.

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
-
67 is a near homophone to a curse word in cantonese:
碌柒 meaning dickhead
As a native Cantonese speaker, this will always be my official meaning for this
-
I'm gonna start spreading this around. It's much better than the existing definition.

You're one of my favorite Lemmy users.

Isn't the joke "because 7 8 9" older than both?
-
Nice.

Nice

Why was 66 scared of 67? Because 67 68 69
-
Gotta love 67. It’s so ubiquitous it’s become meaningless. From basketball to 67 kid, it’s pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be.
-
At least 67 isn't a sex thing.
-
Not with that attitude >:)
-
Fair enough.
-
-
Eww, sex! Get it away from me!
-
if the people partaking in the sex jokes are about 6-7, yeah I want to keep myself away from it
-
-
In cantonese 67 sounds like euphemism for dick.
-
... yet
-
Sex bad🤖
-
No, it just doesn't really appeal to me and many others which is why I would argue that something that is funny because it shouldn't be can easily be better than something that is funny because it's a sex thing. In this comparison I think I dislike both equally though.

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.
