Despite Being Numbers, Dictionary.com Names "6-7" as Word of the Year

I’m so, so sorry. If you wish to ignore these posts, I totally understand. This Blog will return to normal operations soon.

For months, I tried my hardest not to waste my time doing this decode. However, it’s literally the most requested decode I’ve ever gotten. So I finally looked into it and even I was surprised to see how deep this rabbit hole runs.

But this is why I’m here – to make it easier to understand the nonsense around us. This is Part 1 of a four-part series:

The “Six Seven” Synchronicities

Much to the chagrin of all the grown, mature people of America, Dictionary.com made the controversial decision to decide the 2025 word of the year was not really a word at all, but a grouping of two consecutive numbers said aloud together:

The 6-7 meme originates from a song called Doot Doot (6 7) by the rapper Skrilla. Originally released as a single on February 7th, or 2/7, it was later included as the 27th track on the Deluxe version of his 2024 album Zombie Love Kensington Paradise on February 28th.

Skrilla is from the infamous Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia:

The Kensington neighborhood, particularly Kensington Place, is known around the country (and probably the world) as being a destination for junkies who want to take advantage of its open-air drug market. Substances like fentanyl and tranq typically turn its users into “zombies.”

“6 7” is probably a reference to the police code 10-67 for a dead body. But Skrilla says it has no real meaning, and in the minds of the masses, “6 7” can’t really mean anything, as it’s simply a pairing of two consecutive numbers. This makes those who lose their minds when they see 67 irreverent zombies:

But Kensington is important for another reason. This same year, 2025, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Germany signed their first bilateral agreement since World War II called the Kensington Treaty:

The fact that Northern Ireland was part of this treaty is quite fascinating. In 1994, rock band the Cranberries released a single called Zombie, which is about the victims of a bombing in Northern Ireland:

The 67th Prime number is 331

Northern Ireland signed its treaty 30 years, 301 days after “Zombie” hit shelves, which was 30 years, 301 days after the JFK assassination:

Both JFK and O’Riordan were Irish Catholics. More on their syncs in Part 3.

In 2018, I made this short post after the Cranberries’ lead singer Dolores O’Riordan became one of the music industry’s victims of a bathtub drowning.

343 is 7×7×7

Kobe Bryant

Just like Skrilla, Philadelphia was also the birthplace of NBA superstar Kobe Bean Bryant:

Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets:

So was LaMelo Ball:

LaMelo Ball appears to be the reason the 6 7 meme is so popular, as the first clips with Skrilla’s song to go viral were highlight reels of LaMelo, who stands at 6’7″ tall:

Skrilla’s now famous single was released on February 7th, or 2/07, and it was then made the 27th track of Zombie Love‘s deluxe edition on February 28th, or 2/28.
