        "content": "You\u2019re asking whether young people are saying \u201csick seven\u201d or \u201csix seven\u201d (also written 6-7 or 67). The correct phrase is **\u201csix seven\u201d** \u2014 a viral slang expression that really blew up in 2025. It\u2019s become popular among Gen Alpha (kids aged roughly 11\u201314 now) and shows up everywhere: social media, schools, even in class. ([dictionary.cambridge.org](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/six-seven?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What *is* \u201csix seven\u201d\n\n- **Origin**: It comes from Skrilla\u2019s song *\u201cDoot Doot (6-7)\u201d*, which hooks on the repeated lyric \u201csix-seven.\u201d ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doot_Doot_%286_7%29?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Spread**: After the song dropped in late 2024, \u201csix seven\u201d started getting used in TikTok videos\u2014especially those with basketball clips (e.g. featuring LaMelo Ball, who is 6\u20327\u2033 tall). People added gestures (hands up and down) and humor, and it became part of meme culture. ([whyy.org](https://whyy.org/articles/meaning-6-7-skrilla-philadelphia/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Meaning (or lack thereof)**: There isn\u2019t a definitive meaning. It\u2019s mostly used as a playful, nonsensical catchphrase or interjection. Some say it means \u201cso-so,\u201d or is a filler phrase. But the general consensus is that the fun is in the absurdity. ([dictionary.cambridge.org](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/six-seven?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What \u201csick seven\u201d is *(and how it fits in)*\n\n- \u201cSick seven\u201d has popped up here and there in memes or jokes (especially on Reddit), but it\u2019s not the correct phrase in this trend. It\u2019s likely a mishearing or pun of \u201csix seven.\u201d ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/dadjokes/comments/1swxce5/what_do_you_call_a_7_with_the_flu/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If someone says \u201csick seven,\u201d they\u2019re probably playing with words **after** hearing \u201csix seven,\u201d but it isn\u2019t part of the core meme. It doesn\u2019t have its own viral usage or meaning tied to the original.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can break down how \u201csix seven\u201d is used in everyday speech and how older folks often misunderstand it. Do you want me to go deeper?"

        "content": "Cool\u2014happy to break it down, \u201colder person chuckling here\u201d approved. Let\u2019s look at how *six-seven* works in real life, especially how it trips up folks who aren\u2019t part of the trend (like parents, teachers, etc.).\n\n---\n\n## How \u201csix-seven\u201d is used in everyday speech\n\nHere are some common ways kids/teens use \u201csix-seven\u201d:\n\n- **As a random shout**  \n  If someone says a number with a 6 or 7 (\u201csix or seven,\u201d \u201csix-seven,\u201d etc.), kids will holler \u201csix-seven!\u201d just because. It functions like laughing: it\u2019s funny, communal, and disrupts the moment. ([merriam-webster.com](https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/six-seven?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **With a gesture**  \n  Along with yelling it, many do a hand motion: palms up, bouncing or alternating in a rhythm sort of like a seesaw or weighing scale. ([dictionary.cambridge.org](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/six-seven?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **In school/classroom settings**  \n  Teachers often catch it during lessons\u2014kids shout it when they see page numbers or problems with \u201c67\u201d or just to interrupt when the number 6 or 7 comes up. Schools sometimes ban the phrase. ([dictionary.cambridge.org](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/six-seven?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **As an inside-joke or meme signal**  \n  Saying \u201csix-seven\u201d shows you\u2019re in the loop on what\u2019s trending. Even if you don\u2019t really \u201cget it,\u201d using it lets you feel part of the crew. ([dictionary.com](https://www.dictionary.com/culture/slang/67?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Unclear or no meaning**  \n  Most will tell you the phrase doesn\u2019t *mean* anything specific. Skrilla, the rapper behind \"Doot Doot (6 7),\" said he didn\u2019t have an intended meaning. Kids using it often just do so for fun. ([latimes.com](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-10-17/what-does-6-7-mean-viral-trend-in-classrooms?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How older folks misunderstand or interpret it\n\nNow, here\u2019s where the chuckles come in. If you're not part of the trend, this is how it usually looks from the other side:\n\n- **Mishearing or misunderstanding**  \n  Old schooled ears often call it \u201csick seven\u201d or \u201csix or seven\u201d and think it\u2019s a mispronunciation or slang variant. Sometimes they interpret it as meaningful when it\u2019s not. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubstituteTeachers/comments/1orcx3y?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Trying to assign meaning**  \n  Adults might try to guess: is it a code? telling someone they\u2019re average (6 out of 10)? Saying someone is tall? But there\u2019s no consensus. It\u2019s *supposed* to be vague. ([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/oct/20/six-seven-latest-slang-should-parents-be-worried?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Frustration in classrooms**  \n  Teachers often ban it because it\u2019s distracting. They\u2019re like, \u201cI can't teach if every time I say a number, the class erupts!\u201d Yet the bans often backfire, since forbidden things become more desirable. ([latimes.com](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-10-17/what-does-6-7-mean-viral-trend-in-classrooms?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Thinking it\u2019s a phase or fad**  \n  Many adults see it as just another meme or slang wave\u2014cool when kids do it, but over soon. And often once adults get on board, the credibility slips for kids. ([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/oct/20/six-seven-latest-slang-should-parents-be-worried?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Feeling \u201cleft out\u201d or \u201cout of touch\u201d**  \n  Because there *is* no clear meaning, it creates a divide: \u201cYou just don\u2019t get it because you're old.\u201d Which, honestly, is exactly part of why kids like it\u2014it\u2019s like a tiny inside prank. ([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/30/six-seven-meaning-slang?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can show you a few viral clips or memes as examples so you can see it in action\u2014and maybe crack the \u201cyou just don\u2019t get it\u201d mystery a little. Want me to pull those up?"

Her 2009 album *Never Been Gone* was mostly re-recordings, so this marks a genuine return to new material.([pitchfork.com](https://pitchfork.com/news/carly-simon-new-album-comes-in-waves/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The album drops **August 14, 2026**.([pitchfork.com](https://pitchfork.com/news/carly-simon-new-album-comes-in-waves/?utm_source=openai))  \n- It\u2019s 12 tracks long, with a total runtime of about **43 minutes**.([qobuz.com](https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/comes-in-waves-carly-simon/w3y843uw1tssn?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Themes & Sound\n\n- The music explores deeply personal territory: love, loss, regret, memory, forgiveness. It shifts through heavy emotions with nuance.([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/49c7b4023c84c7dcf7ca1e8db082f226?utm_source=openai))  \n- The title *Comes in Waves* draws from a song called \u201cSlowly,\u201d which likens emotional movement to ocean tides\u2014feelings rising and falling naturally, sometimes overwhelming.([parade.com](https://parade.com/news/carly-simon-first-original-album-since-2008?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s Going On Behind the Scenes\n\n- While recording, Carly Simon was diagnosed with **Parkinson\u2019s disease**, and also had surgery to remove a *cancerous skin growth*.([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/49c7b4023c84c7dcf7ca1e8db082f226?utm_source=openai))  \n- The album came out of a mix of long-held material and recent inspiration. Some songs or song fragments had been set aside *years ago*, waiting for the right time to be finished or shared.([bostonglobe.com](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/27/arts/carly-simon-parkinson-skin-cancer-album/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Collaborators & Creative Details\n\n- The record features Carly\u2019s **family and longtime collaborators**: her children Ben Taylor (also her songwriting/producing) and Sally Taylor; producers like David Spencer; plus Frank Filipetti and Paul Samwell-Smith.([pitchfork.com](https://pitchfork.com/news/carly-simon-new-album-comes-in-waves/?utm_source=openai))  \n- It also includes one of the final recorded appearances by **John Fort\u00e9**, who passed away earlier in 2026.([pitchfork.com](https://pitchfork.com/news/carly-simon-new-album-comes-in-waves/?utm_source=openai))  \n- One of the tracks\u2014\u201cShare the End\u201d\u2014is a *2025 remaster* of a song from her 1971 album *Anticipation*. It reworks something old, thus bridging her past and present artistry.([qobuz.com](https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/comes-in-waves-carly-simon/w3y843uw1tssn?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## First Single: \u201cHowl\u201d\n\n- Lead track and the album\u2019s intro. \u201cHowl\u201d centers on anger and betrayal, but moves toward forgiveness. Carly said in interviews that the song is about voicing hurt so it doesn\u2019t just linger, which affects relationship and trust.([stereogum.com](https://stereogum.com/2502151/carly-simon-announces-first-new-album-in-18-years-hear-howl/music?utm_source=openai))  \n- Musically, it opens in anger\u2014building tension\u2014and transitions emotionally toward a place of attempts at resolution.([pitchfork.com](https://pitchfork.com/news/carly-simon-new-album-comes-in-waves/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Legacy & What It Means\n\n- Carly Simon just turned 83 this year.

        "content": "Yes \u2014 there *are* a few websites that specialize in or frequently carry keyboards with \u201cclicky\u201d (buckling-spring) keys, especially those mimicking the old IBM \u201cnatural\u201d layout like the Model M. Here are your best options, plus tips so you can get one that meets your clicky-key keyboard dreams.\n\n---\n\n## Top places to buy clicky keyboards like the IBM natural layout\n\n1. **ClickyKeyboards.com**  \n   Focus: Vintage, restored IBM Model M keyboards. These come with the original \u201cbuckling-spring\u201d mechanism (very clicky), often in good condition. They restore them thoroughly \u2014 cleaning, replacing parts, making sure everything works. ([clickykeyboards.com](https://www.clickykeyboards.com/frequently-asked-questions/?utm_source=openai))  \n   Pros: Authentic old IBM feel; original parts; full keyboard build.  \n   Cons: Because they're old/vintage, stock varies, prices are higher, and sometimes you need adapters (e.g. PS/2 \u2192 USB) for modern computers. ([preater.com](https://preater.com/modelm/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Unicomp / PCKeyboard.com**  \n   Focus: New production Model Ms, made in the U.S. with buckling-spring switches. These are modern recreations (\u201cNew Model M,\u201d \u201cMini M,\u201d etc.). They offer custom options (layouts, colors). ([pckeyboard.com](https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/SFNT?utm_source=openai))  \n   Pros: Brand-new, ready for modern use, all the clickiness with more current standards.  \n   Cons: Styling is slightly updated, not always exactly the vintage \u201cnatural\u201d layout (some adjustments), and pricing reflects it\u2019s made-to-order. ([pckeyboard.com](https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/SFNT?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **General Retailers with Mechanical Keyboard Sections** (Best Buy, Newegg, etc.)  \n   You can find keyboards with clicky switches (Cherry \u201cBlue,\u201d Razer \u201cGreen,\u201d etc.) that are much louder and more tactile than typical membrane keys. These won't be IBM-buckling-spring, but they are clicky. If you just want *clicky*, not necessarily *Elm-street-keyboard-beautiful*, this is a way cheaper/more accessible route. ([bestbuy.com](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/shop/clicky-keyboards?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What to look for, layout-wise\n\nIf your ideal is the classic IBM \u201cnatural layout,\u201d pay attention to these features:\n\n- **Natural archive layout / \u201cModel M style\u201d**: Fixed bottom row, standard keycaps, big rectangular \u201cEnter,\u201d wide space bar. IBM\u2019s Model M and SSK are examples.  \n- **Switch type**: Original buckling-spring is distinct. If you can\u2019t get that, go for mechanical \u201cclicky\u201d switches \u2014 Cherry MX Blue, Green, or similar \u2014 but know the feel and sound are different.  \n- **Connector**: Vintage ones often use PS/2. You\u2019ll likely need a dongle or converter for USB.  \n- **Restoration**: If vintage, check condition \u2014 cleaned keycaps, replacement of broken rivets (bolt-modded so springs don\u2019t rattle), working electronics.  \n\n---\n\n## Tips for buying (so you don\u2019t end up with regrets)\n\n- Look at **user reviews and photos** \u2014 squeaky springs, missing parts, weird key layouts (sometimes mislabeled).  \n- Make sure the seller offers **return or warranty**, especially with vintage gear.  \n- Check pricing history; old model Ms tend to go up in price the rarer/older the board is.  \n- Ask about shipping; those vintage boards are *heavy and bulky*, so shipping & customs add up.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can pull up right now a list of what\u2019s in stock at ClickyKeyboards or Unicomp so you can see actual options (with prices) \u2014 do you want that?"
