Yeah, so I guess in the traditional sense of meaning, it doesn't mean anything.
So, you know, there's no actual thing you can point to that means six, seven, you can't say, you know, it's not a type of car, it's not a type of book, and it's not a verb, it's nothing like that.
It doesn't even mean those numbers, right?
Like, it's not really counting.
So, it's really just an indicator that you are part of a group.
It's got this thing called social meaning, and it just indicates that you know what it means.
That's really all it means.
And so, you say it, like you hear it, and then you laugh because, oh, you know, they said 6-7, and they don't know what it means, but I do.
That's all it means.
Well, there's lots of, it seems to be expanding, but I think sometimes teachers will report, you know, that there'll just be, oh, it's like six, seven pages.
And then everyone will say, oh, six, seven.
And all the kids, you know, laugh that it's six, seven.
That six, seven doesn't mean anything, right?
But also a friend of mine said that some boy was being sort of, was picking on some girl in his classroom.
kid's class.
And so the girl was making fun of this boy and the boy just said, six, seven, like as if it didn't matter.
And that explained everything.
Like, I don't know.
So maybe it's expanding in meaning.
Maybe it's developing a meaning that I'm not aware of.
