    Isn’t “6 7” supposed to be a rating? Somebody does something and you rate it mid by giving it a 6 or maybe a 7 on a scale of 10. Why on earth would this semantic meaning come from a basketball player’s height?

      No, it’s from a rap song, but almost everybody doesn’t have the context. Just tell the middle-school kids that it really means a 10-67, that at least for the rapper’s local police codes, means they found a dead body.

      All of the other theories are made up.

      No. It’s just “6-7”. It is not supposed to be a rating or something with actual meaning at all. It’s just a pattern.

        Yes, but that’s got nothing to do with it 🤣

        My joint pain started when I was a teenager and has just gotten worse now that I’m 35. Though apparently my brain is perpetually 12 because I pick up this new slang very quickly. Much to the annoyance of my teenage son and the amusement of my 5 year old twins.
