The tongue-in-cheek roundup of overused slang started in 1976 as a New Year&#8217;s Eve party idea, and is affectionately called the list of &#8220;Queen&#8217;s English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Around 1,400 submissions came from all 50 states and a number of countries outside the U.S., including Uzbekistan, Brazil and Japan, according to Lake Superior State.<\/p>\n<p> Also in the top 10 are &#8220;demure,&#8221; &#8220;incentivize,&#8221; &#8220;perfect,&#8221; &#8220;gift\/gifted,&#8221; &#8220;my bad&#8221; and &#8220;reach out.&#8221; &#8220;My bad&#8221; and &#8220;reach out&#8221; also made the list decades ago \u2014 in 1998 and 1994, respectively.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The list definitely represents the fad and vernacular trends of the younger generation,&#8221; said David Travis, Lake Superior State University president. &#8220;Social media allows a greater opportunity to misunderstand or misuse words. We&#8217;re using terms that are shared through texting, primarily, or through posting with no body language or tone context. It&#8217;s very easy to misunderstand these words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Few phrases in 2025 befuddled parents, teachers and others over the age of, say 40, more than &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/the-delightful-absurdity-of-6-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">6-7<\/a>.&#8221; Dictionary.com even <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dictionary-67-2025-word-of-the-year-meaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">picked it as their 2025 word of the year<\/a><\/span>, while other dictionaries chose words like &#8220;slop&#8221; and &#8220;rage bait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/31\/7f35b7b3-3ba6-4663-8464-60bb414fe5f8\/thumbnail\/620x349\/2160bbb494cb35a54f286aff46caa6de\/cbsn-fusion-the-delightful-absurdity-of-6-7-thumbnail.jpg#\" alt=\"cbsn-fusion-the-delightful-absurdity-of-6-7-thumbnail.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/31\/7f35b7b3-3ba6-4663-8464-60bb414fe5f8\/thumbnail\/620x349\/2160bbb494cb35a54f286aff46caa6de\/cbsn-fusion-the-delightful-absurdity-of-6-7-thumbnail.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/31\/7f35b7b3-3ba6-4663-8464-60bb414fe5f8\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/6d225f2288071d6792b3912cb4696a10\/cbsn-fusion-the-delightful-absurdity-of-6-7-thumbnail.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Kids do the hand motions associated with the viral &#8220;6-7&#8221; trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But what does &#8220;6-7&#8221; actually mean?

In 2019, the centuries-old Latin phrase &#8220;quid pro quo&#8221; was the top requested phrase to ban from popular use. In 2017, &#8220;fake news&#8221; got the most votes.<\/p>\n<p> Alana Bobbitt, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, is unapologetic about using &#8220;6-7.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I find joy in it,&#8221; Bobbitt said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a little bit silly, and even though I don&#8217;t understand what it means, it&#8217;s fun to use.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Jalen Brezzell says a small group of his friends use &#8220;6-7&#8221; and that it comes up a couple of times each week. But he won&#8217;t utter it.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Never. I don&#8217;t really get the joke,&#8221; said Brezzell, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. &#8220;I don&#8217;t see what&#8217;s funny about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> But banning it, even in jest, might be a bit of a stretch, he said, adding that he does use other words and phrases on the list.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I&#8217;ve always used the word &#8216;cooked,'&#8221; Brezzell said. &#8220;I just think it got popular on the internet over this past year. It&#8217;s saying, like, &#8216;give it up, it&#8217;s over.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Some of the phrases do have longevity, Travis said.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll ever go away, like &#8216;at the end of the day,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;I used &#8216;my bad&#8217; today. I feel comfortable using it. I started using it when I was young. A lot of us older people are still using it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Travis said that while some terms on the list &#8220;will stick around in perpetuity,&#8221; others will be fleeting.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I
