It’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.

I don't get it either but me using it is a great way to annoy my kids.

  Nothing 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.

It 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

  Your comment finally allowed me to understand 6-7 (older millenial)... Now get off my lawn, Shorty... or pick up the phone.

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).

  Not the out group, but the unc group.

  And hasn't that been the point of slang since forever?

Sounds like the point was both achieved and obvious.

It 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.
