69 is eternal, or at least as long as Arabic numerals remain in use. 67 does not replace 69, it lives alongside it. But 69 will outlast it. It was first referenced in 1790 https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/69/ and will be repeatedly rediscovered by future generations

67 is a near homophone to a curse word in cantonese:
碌柒 meaning dickhead
As a native Cantonese speaker, this will always be my official meaning for this
You’re one of my favorite Lemmy users.
Where is 68?
How’s the old joke go? 67 69ed 68
Makes me miss my grandparents.
I’ll always remember their big dusty fishbowl with the outlines of all the keys.

Isn’t the joke “because 7 8 9” older than both?
Nice.

Im so high i was like, who were the 67th and 69th presidents?
Gotta love 67. It’s so ubiquitous it’s become meaningless. From basketball to 67 kid, it’s pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be.
At least 67 isn’t a sex thing.
… yet
Sex bad🤖
No, it just doesn’t really appeal to me and many others which is why I would argue that something that is funny because it shouldn’t be can easily be better than something that is funny because it’s a sex thing. In this comparison I think I dislike both equally though.
I don’t get what the annoyance is with “6-7”. I’ve been using it for years and it just means “approximately” or “thereabouts”.
