Recent announcements on several news channels have revealed that the word of the year is 6-7. Every year, whichever word is documented and used the most goes down in history as the word of the year.
The word of the year is decided by various organizations like linguistic societies and dictionary publishers. Certain other communities like Oxford University and Dictionary.com use public polls and votes to determine the word of the year. Overall, the word is selected based on the public and their opinions.
This year, 6-7 won. Dictionary.com says that the words official definition is “So, so.” This word arose to fame in December of 2024 just before New Years. It has miraculously stuck around up until now, and has earned the title of word of the year.
There is no real meaning behind 6-7. It is mostly used as a placeholder to quote when the conversation goes quiet, or when someone is making a joke. This meme arose from a video of a kid screaming the numbers during a basketball game. It is also speculated that the word 6-7 originated from a song titled “Doot Doot” By Skrilla.
