67 — noun · internet slang · pronounced "six seven"
If you heard kids saying "67" and felt like you missed a meeting — welcome.
67 is a number people use to sound weirdly specific without having a fixed meaning. It's often used to imply "mid," "almost," or "close-but-no" — context decides the flavor. Scroll for 6 or 7 more examples ;)
Origin: The '6-7' meme spread online after appearing in music and viral short-form videos — the meaning never really settled.
Commonly used when you tried your best but the result is just... awkward. Not quite failure, but definitely not success.
Translation: 'I put in effort and this is what I got?'
Often interpreted as the internet's way of saying 'mediocre' but with a number that sounds weirdly precise and therefore funnier.
Translation: 'Not great, not terrible, just... 67.'
Frequently used to imply you were so close to something good (like a 70 or 75), but you landed on 67. The proximity makes it worse.
Translation: 'Almost made it, but didn't.'
Part of the humor is that nobody officially defined it, yet everyone seems to get it. It's a collective internet moment where ambiguity is the point.
Translation: 'If you know, you know.'
