> In 1958, I bought my first and only home. Of course, it was in Omaha, located about two miles from where I grew up (loosely defined), less than two blocks from my in-laws, about six blocks from the Buffett grocery store and a 6-7-minute drive from the office building where I have worked for 64 years.
Is Warren Buffett getting into the meme too?

- bfkwlfkjf 1y agoWhat's the meme?
- nocoiner 1y agoIt’s literally just saying 6-7. No, I don’t get it either. My kids thought it was hilarious to watch me grapple with it, though.

- usefulcat 1y agoI don't get it either but me using it is a great way to annoy my kids.
- saghm 1y agoNothing makes a joke stop being funny to kids faster than an adult trying too hard to get in on it! Some day when they're older they'll realize that was your goal and the cycle will continue.
- IncreasePosts 1y agoIt originated as a brag - a basketball player said it like "I am 6' 7", therefore I am a high quality male and women should reproduce with me". Then shorter people picked up on it

- blitzar 1y agolol, they dont get it 6 7
- johnebgd 1y agoIt’s the Waaaasssssuuuupppp of the Gen Alpha.
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoYour comment finally allowed me to understand 6-7 (older millenial)... Now get off my lawn, Shorty... or pick up the phone.
- dehrmann 1y agoTrue, true.
- throw0101a 1y ago> It’s literally just saying 6-7. No, I don’t get it either. A linguist goes into the meme and it's history: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA You not getting it is the main point of the saying: it's slang term that young folks (in-group) are using to differentiate themselves from the not-young folks (out-group).
- wodenokoto 1y agoSounds like the point was both achieved and obvious.
- gwbas1c 1y agoIt just gets stuck in your head and is something to laugh at. The kids who are into it are too young to remember the other catch phrases we got into. My four year old repeats it all the time, which keeps it stuck in my head. I'm just waiting for Sesame Street to declare 6 and 7 the numbers of the day.
- aorth 1y agoOh my gosh, my six year old just said it to me today. What is going on?!
- sethev 1y agoHah - I think it's more likely that he has it timed and it literally takes between 6-7 minutes.
- danjermaus 1y agoHe famously drives himself to work every day in a battered old car because he doesn't see the point in spending money where he can avoid it, so I'm sure he's timed it.
