Brian Lairer on WNYC, and now your calls and texts.

If you are tweens or teens or parents of those to give other listeners a language lesson in things folks are saying today that

the gups the grown-ups may not know gary and benjamin i think this is a father and son together

on staten island higher on w n yc hi brian uh long-time listeners thank you for taking our call.

Brett Benjamin's actually my younger brother, and once he heard this topic, he heard

that we had to call in about the term six, seven.

I see, I'm 21 years old, and I already feel out of the loop on this, but the way I understand

it, and I can give it to my brothers to confirm.

It's like a signal that the tweens are telling each other to kind of just be in the

no.

So whenever any sentence comes out, whenever they hear anything with the word six or seven in it,

they do the hand signal to each other, and it's just a thing to laugh about yeah are you

gary or benjamin who is just speaking i'm gary speaking so so benjamin uh uh put some meat on

those bones uh what's what what what's six seven for you hey six seven it's just two numbers

but like there's also additions of six seven there's like four one

which are also two numbers but it's basically just people laugh at it because everything has

somewhat has to do with six seven in some way i've heard six seven is meaning like nah like, nah, like it's okay, like six-seven out of ten.

Something like that or not really?

Yeah, kind of, if you put it in that perspective.

Gary and Benjamin, thank you for calling in. Kelly and Westport, you're on WNYC.

Hi, Kelly.

Hey, Ryan. So I've got a couple things here. Number one, maybe some other callers can enlighten me, but like Skibby, Ohio, no clue, no clue at all.
