Some social media trends go more viral than others, and the latest one, known simply as “67,” is one of them.
The nonsense phrase has exploded across TikTok and Instagram, and is especially popular among middle schoolers, but now it seems the LSU women’s basketball team has taken a liking to it, too.

And right at the tip, the arena erupted with “67” chants and matching hand gestures. Players, fans and even LSU head coach Kim Mulkey joined in the madness.
“67,” pronounced “six-seven,” was named Dictionary.com’s Word of the Year for 2025 and originated from a song called “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla, but later became popular in basketball references. The term really has no defined meaning, but is commonly used among middle school students.

And Tuesday’s game happened to be attended by nearly 9,000 school children. It marked LSU’s annual field trip game that featured students from the Baton Rouge area. The pivotal 67th point was clearly a highlight of the game for the 8,743 students in attendance.
“They loved it,” Mulkey said after the game via team website. “I thought, ‘God bless teachers.’ That’s my first thought. My second thought is that there’s a little girl in that position who wants to be in that uniform someday, who wants to be at LSU as a student someday, maybe not even play sports. That’s what I told the team. There’s little girls out there who used to be you, and some of them, it might be the first and last time they ever see you play. Leave an impression.”
