These cops have their number.<\/p>\n
Police in Indiana are issuing \u201ctickets\u201d to elementary school students caught saying \u201c6-7,\u201d the nonsensical, viral slang term kids seemingly can\u2019t stop saying.<\/p>\n
The Tippecanoe County Sheriff\u2019s Office posted a cheeky video<\/a> showing deputies handing out fake \u201ctickets\u201d to students in a local school cafeteria and classrooms for violating a purportedly new \u201c6-7\u201d ordinance, which they joked was passed to \u201ckeep parents sane.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is now against the law to use the words \u2018six\u2019 and \u2018seven\u2019 unless using them in a math problem or someone\u2019s age,\u201d a deputy tells a girl at her desk in the clip.<\/p>\n The tickets, which were fake, were to protect the sanity of the students\u2019 parents, the sheriff\u2019s office said. Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office<\/p>\n But the students seemed unbothered and continued shouting the seemingly inescapable phrase \u2014 while making the accompanying hand motion \u2014 even after receiving their \u201cticket.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe appreciate the support as our [school resource officers] work tirelessly to keep parents sane during this time,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said, adding that they handed out as many of the citations as possible.<\/p>\n Two students are shown giving the officers a box of donoughsts \u2013 which excused them of their 6-7 violation.<\/p>\n The term \u201c6-7\u201d \u2013 pronounced \u201csix-seven,\u201d rather than \u201csixty seven\u201d \u2014 has become an inescapable Gen Alpha obsession<\/a>, driving parents and teachers nuts. But as frustrating it may be, the sheriff\u2019s office assured that the law was fake and the tickets were just for fun.<\/p>\n While the exact origin is unclear, it spread initially thanks to the Skrilla song \u201cDoot Doot (6 7)\u201d \u2014 but appears to be essentially meaningless.\u00a0<\/p>\n Even Dictionary.com<\/a> admitted as much when it sparked outrage last month by declaring \u201c6-7\u201d the word of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps the most defining feature of 67 is that it\u2019s impossible to define,\u201d the website explained.. \u201cIt\u2019s meaningless, ubiquitous, and nonsensical.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201ctickets\u201d were handed out by school resource officers from the Tippecanoe County Sheriff\u2019s Office in Indiana. Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office<\/p>\n One of deputies issued the tickets to students in the school cafeteria. Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office<\/p>\n The dictionary called the pairing of the numbers \u201cclassic brainrot slang: purposefully nonsensical, endlessly remixable and all about being in on the absurdity.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s part inside joke, part social signal and part performance. When people say it, they\u2019re not just repeating a meme; they\u2019re shouting a feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n Some people interpret 6-7 as \u201cso-so\u201d or \u201cmaybe this, maybe that,\u201d as it\u2019s typically paired with a shrug-like hand gesture where palms face up and move alternately.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s also used as an exclamation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These cops have their number.
