Category : Miscellaneous Published on: November 01 2025
Dictionary.com has named ‘67’ as the Word of the Year 2025, a first-of-its-kind choice highlighting the rise of internet slang in modern communication. Pronounced “six-seven”, the term gained popularity from rapper Skrilla’s 2024 song “Doot Doot (6 7)” and quickly became a viral meme on TikTok and social media. Used playfully and often without clear meaning, ‘67’ reflects Gen Alpha’s humor, spontaneity, and digital creativity. Dictionary.com said the term captures today’s fast-evolving online culture and the absurd yet connected language of the internet generation.
