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
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
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.
From Charlie Barnett
“My favorite position is 68. She does me and I owe her one.”
Isn’t the joke “because 7 8 9” older than both?
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
Where is 68?
How’s the old joke go? 67 69ed 68
Makes me miss my grandparents.
I’ll always remember their big dusty fishbowl with the outlines of all the keys.
casual racism intensifies
What does it even mean?
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.
I asked my nine year old daughter, and she said it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just brain rot to confuse the adults.
Joke’s on your daughter, I am already confused.
Knowing is half the battle.
I think its whole thing is that it doesn’t really mean anything; it’s literally just an empty trigger word
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?
I cannot. You can only realise it’s been used after it has already happened. I can try to think of a sentence all day but I will not come up with one because it can only come naturally.
Riiight.
Wait until we have six or seven votes on these comments and maybe then we can see
I’ll be there approximately 6-7 thereabouts.
That doesn’t sound like you’re using it to mean “thereabouts” given that you have the word “thereabouts” in the sentence…
Well that isn’t the same guy so there is that haha
I noticed, but I thought they were at least still trying to answer the question…
At least 67 isn’t a sex thing.
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.
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
