"Six seven" appears to come from Skrilla's drill song "Doot Doot (6 7)," where the phrase is repeated as part of the hook; its exact meaning in the song is unclear, and Skrilla has reportedly avoided giving it a fixed definition. The phrase spread heavily through TikTok, Instagram Reels, basketball edits, and especially references to NBA player LaMelo Ball, whose listed height is 6 ft 7 in. It then became popular among younger internet users as a deliberately absurd "brainrot" meme: people shout it, comment it, pair it with a hand gesture, or use it as a vague answer meaning anything from "so-so" to nothing at all.
