Social media is destroying the world, people, and we cannot stand for it. Our attention spans are shredded. We can’t look up from our phones. And now, the official Word of the Year from Dictionary.com isn’t even a freaking word!

The online dictionary named ’67’ Word of the Year. It’s a phrase every single parent has been tortured with for the past 6 months. No one can describe it. No one can escape it. It’s just a part of us now. And all because of a silly TikTok.

@youtubeshortsjustforyou THE “6–7” MEME KID THAT STARTED IT ALL #67Kid #Basketball #67 . . The internet has seen thousands of memes… but few have had the staying power and absurdity of the “6–7” basketball kid. Today, we’re throwing it all the way back with the original video that gave birth to the legendary meme that took over TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and now YouTube Shorts. This moment — a kid at a basketball game, being asked for his height and saying “6’7” with complete deadpan seriousness — became one of the most iconic, aura-rich moments in modern meme history. From Aura Farming lore to NPC compilations, this clip is the Rosetta Stone of meme energy. The delivery, the look, the vibes — everything about this moment feels like it was blessed by the meme gods. It spawned countless remixes, voiceovers, parodies, and compilations of fake flexes, unearned confidence, and peak rizzless aura. It’s been referenced in basketball edits, TikTok stitches, and even branded content. We’re talking about a core memory of the Meme Multiverse. This is where the “he’s not 6’7” but he believes he is energy began. It’s the intersection of NPC behavior, rizz delusion, and high school gymnasium chaos — a true cultural artifact. If you’re new here, welcome to the Auraverse. If you’re an OG, you already know this is part of the generational meme debt that reshaped internet humor. This is more than a clip — it’s a timestamp in meme evolution, forever etched in the algorithm. Drop a like, comment if you remember this going viral, and subscribe for more Internet Lore Originals, Aura Farming Rankings, and Top 7 Aura Fail Moments. We’re just getting started. — ️ COPY-PASTE HASHTAGS (Comma-Separated) #67Kid, #6Foot7 ♬ original sound – YouTube Shorts For You

Make sense? Yep. This is the future, people.

The fact that the most defining characteristic of ’67’ is that you can’t define it is ironic, especially since it’s being honored by a site that provides definitions for anyone with a search bar.

Let’s check in with how the internet is handling this latest sign of the apocolypse.
