CT’s Popular Slang: Do You Know What Your Kids Are Saying?

One of the best parts of being a kid was speaking in slang. I loved it so much that I never really gave it up—I’m 46 years old and still dropping 90s slang like it’s new.

If you have kids, you already know slang is alive and well. You hear it every day. Whether it’s “rizz,” “huzz,” or your 6-year-old daughter calling you “bruh,” it feels like a nonstop battle just to keep up. You want at least some idea of what your kids are saying out there in the wacky world of chaos and questionable TikToks.

Case in point: my son recently started saying “6-7.” At first, I ignored it, but when it became part of his daily vocabulary, I knew I had to dig in. Turns out, it means absolutely nothing. It started in a Skrilla song, moved to memes, then blew up online. The whole joke is the absurdity. And honestly, I was relieved, because the way my kid was enjoying it usually means I don’t want him saying it.
