    My friends will continue to intentionally and enthusiastically mis-use all the kid-pidgin as a form of sarcastic performance art, as it has so far achieved the main goal of embarrassing their two girls into never using any of it. They speak like people, instead of vapid 'gram zombies; at least at home.

      Speak to your kids like little adults and their speech and vocabulary explodes. They also sense the respect that many adults don’t give them. I loathe adults that talk down to children.

      I do this too. I’ll come home and say “heyyy 6-7-8 my bruhs!” and their eyes will roll right out of their skulls.

    Even the kids that say it don’t even take it that seriously and are 100% aware that it is just brainrot, at least from what I have seen. Although, I do still enjoy saying “sixty seven” to my nephew whenever it comes up.

    some say it can be interpreted as another way of saying “so-so,” “maybe this” or “maybe that,” the dictionary states.

    pronounced “six-seven” and never “sixty-seven,” the dictionary notes

    A non-sensical and ambivalent word gets into the dictionary. If that is the case then release the jibber jabber for all! Who needs to communicate when we have our governments to tell us what to do and think!! /s
