Every year, some of the most prestigious dictionaries from around the world choose their Word of the Year. Dictionary.com has chosen one of the most confusing words as its nominee for 2025.
A popular online dictionary, Dictionary.com, announced that '67' (pronounced six-seven) is its Word of the Year.
If you're confused, don't worry; you're not alone. For the last couple of months, the internet has been rife both with netizens using '67' and with people being confused by it.
So what does it actually mean? According to Dictionary.com, "the most defining feature of 67 is that it’s impossible to define." The online slang term is mostly traced back to a song called “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla. The word gained more popularity after a video of a basketball player doing the '67 dance' (outstretched hands with the palm up, moving up and down alternatively) quickly went viral.
'67' doesn't really have a meaning; some say it means “so-so,” or “maybe this, maybe that.” Some use it as a catch-all answer to any question; others use it as an opportunity to confuse and wind up anyone.
Dictionary.com chose '67' from a shortlist of other words that they had finalised for the Word of the Year. Other words that made the final list included 'Aura farming,' 'Broligarchy,' and 'Clanker,' among others.
