    6-7 is a thing kids say these days, apparently. Like 69, 420, etc.; except so far as I’ve seen 6-7 is the height of a popular basketball player, a reference to a rap song, or possibly both.

    I’m not going to attack it because I’ve made plenty of dumb references, but I don’t know enough to justify this one. My kid is too young to say this and I have no other connection to modern youth culture.

    I’m not sure how the numbers connect to the image.

      A police code that was used in a rap song and then made into a video about a basketball player who is 6’7" and then became a popular thing to say without any meaning attached to it.

      Ah, thank you. Definitely outside my generations lingo. Feeling like the old Simpsons man here; it happened to me too

        Happy to be of service, but I feel like calling Grandpa Simpson (or Abe if you prefer) “the old Simpsons man” is doing him a disservice.
