The country music star pitched an idea for ending the viral \u201c6-7\u201d trend, and she might be onto something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In-person auditions have begun for <em>American Idol<\/em> Season 24, as evidenced by an amusing video of Carrie Underwood talking to a potential contestant named Uzziah. The phrase \u201c6-7\u201d gets brought up \u2014 as it does oh so often these days \u2014 and she shared a pretty brilliant idea for making it all stop:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the video \u2014 posted, appropriately, 67 days before <em>American Idol<\/em> returns on January 26 \u2014 the hopeful contestant mentions hearing kids say, \u201c6-7\u201d all day. Carrie Underwood responds by doing the corresponding hand movement before enlisting Uzziah\u2019s help in ending the trend. She said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Every time the kids say \u20186-7,\u2019 we have to immediately say, 5-3-0-9. And if we all band together and do that, it will stop. It\u2019s gonna take all of us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Carrie Underwood has two boys at home, born in 2015 and 2019, and as someone with a teen and a pre-teen myself, I stand in solidarity. Honestly, what did schools think was going to happen when they started banning the phrase? That\u2019s a good way to ensure the longevity of a trend, not the end of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To that point, I agree with Carrie Underwood and Uzziah here \u2014 I think this could work. Not because I think kids know (or care) about the Tommy Tutone song \u201c867-5309\/Jenny\u201d from the \u201880s, but because nothing kills the vibes quicker than when mom starts singing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Admittedly, this is probably not true in Carrie Underwood\u2019s case, but the quickness with which I can empty a room is impressive, and my girls will be scurrying in double-time if the tune I\u2019m singing has the numbers \u201c6-7\u201d in it. Even without the singing part of it, when adults start using popular slang terms, it\u2019s time to retire them (the slang, not the adults).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">CINEMABLEND&#8217;S 6-7<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Kenny, Cartman, Kyle, Ike, and Stan in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"535\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/S1GzX5gQuVtvq7PgD7vmwQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzNTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/88e62945a05a558d9f403a542675fbf9\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Kenny, Cartman, Kyle, Ike, and Stan in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So far, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/e\/word-of-the-year-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Dictionary.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Dictionary.com<\/a> making it its Word of the Year for 2025 hasn\u2019t deterred those Gen Alphas, so it\u2019s possible that the invincibility of \u201c6-7\u201d is as nonsensical as its meaning. As for what it means, exactly, it\u2019s one of the more unsatisfying responses you\u2019ll get from Google or Urban Dictionary or wherever you go when you\u2019re too ashamed to ask a real person. Its popularity stems from the rap song \u201cDoot Doot (6 7)\u201d by Skrilla, and Dictionary.com basically says it\u2019s a catch-all word with no definition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wow, dictionary, you had literally one job. The entry reads, in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Perhaps the most defining feature of 67 is that it\u2019s impossible to define.

Will something different and even more nonsensical take its place?
