From Yankee Doodle to 6-7: Why We Love Meaningless Words

from Strange Scapes · host Adam and Ronna

Ever feel like the algorithm is just screaming numbers at you? This week, we explore the 6 7 trend and why Generation Alpha decided that two digits and a palm-up hand gesture are the peak of humor. Is it a demon chant, a police code, or just brain rot? We also travel back to the 1880s to find the OG city-slicker: the Dude. Turns out, before it was a surfer vibe, it was a "dandy" insult for fancy-pants Easterners. We’re tracking the origin of slang from the Yankee Doodle days to the Skrilla era. It’s a 6 7 out of 10 episode, at least.
