The kids are using this to annoy/bamboozle the adults.

Have you come across it yet?

I think it means 'whatever'.

Not sure where it started

My answer is 8,9,10. 🙂

Maybe it's the meaning of life?

6x7=42

    Dafling minor finds it annoying when the usual suspects among her classmates start it.
    I don't think anyone knows what it means - it's just a thing to be in on that adults aren't.

    Yes, though I forget which thread.

    Short version: It comes from the rap song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla, released in February of this year. Part of the point is that it has no set meaning (even in the song), but can mean whatever someone using it wants it to mean in a given context, leaving outsiders (adults) bewildered.

    6 7 found here in Heaven, in the thread "Phrases that Date You", back in October.

    My standard response to 6-7 is "10-4, good buddy"---which annoys/bamboozles the youth because most of them are unfamiliar with CB Radio slang.

    So its purpose is to leave someone at sixes and sevens?

    I’d be inclined to replied, 7,8 who do we appreciate - but I have never encountered the phenomenon in the wild.

    According to an article in The Atlantic newsletter the phrase reached its peak around Halloween and is expected to disappear around New Years. Something else is bound to replace it, of course.
