Seemingly trivial things that elicit an emotional response of some kind

[briantrumpet]

I'm trivially intrigued why any adults care about 6-7 once they have established it is meaningless. The Guardian keeps churning out articles about it.

People once thought "left hand down a bit" was riotously funny. Times change.

I'm trivially intrigued by what "6-7" is. It's passed me by.

Offer one of your kids a trumpet lesson from 6-7 and see what happens. Alternatively, be happy.

I'll add it to my ever-enlarging pile of happy ignorance.

That's only because they're nearly all dead.

It is in your best interest. It came to my attention last week and I had to Google to get reference.
It is at best described as meaningless silly nonsense, and that's from those who like it.

6-7

Yeah I know all about that. I watch South Park.

Thank you for asking that 😊

I don't even know how to say it, whether it's Dolly Parton style (though for a rather shorter shift), or "six hyphen seven" or just "six seven". My ignorance is almost complete.

You know of its existence so your ignorance will never be complete.

I don't think it is "sixty seven", at least for a few years Brian.

I'm going out on a limb to say I don't think PP really got the context either.

In fact, we are all at sixes and sevens.

Which is different.

Six seven with a silly voice and emphasis on the seven. This is accompanied by open hands going up and down by the side.

You didn't need to know this. Kids think it is funny - just like octogenarians like "left hand down a bit".

Thanks. I'm slightly less ignorant, even if I still don't understand.
