Racine, Ohio — A Day That Will Be Remembered (Whether Anyone Wants To or Not)
Racine, OH: In a stunning turn of events that experts are already calling “entirely preventable,” the infamous “67 trend”—a piece of Gen Alpha/Gen Z internet slang known primarily for having no meaning whatsoever—has officially infiltrated Southern Local Schools.
This cryptic numeral phenomenon, crowned Dictionary.com’s 2025 Word of the Year, has baffled linguists, annoyed parents, and caused teachers everywhere to question whether English class is even real. While schools nationwide have attempted to ban the term, Southern Local took a different approach: full surrender… followed immediately by a counterattack.
On the 66th day of school, Southern staff launched a covert strike known only as Operation 6-7. Sources confirm the operation was timed precisely before Thanksgiving break—a break consisting of 6, not 7, days, a detail officials insisted was “purely coincidental but also deeply symbolic.”
Reports from inside the building indicate widespread infiltration. The numbers 6 and 7 were spotted in PA announcements, math problems, hallway signage, class discussions, lunch menus, bus routes, and at least one place no one can explain. Some insertions were subtle. Others were “as subtle as a fire alarm being played through a megaphone,” according to eyewitnesses.
Students appeared confused, amused, distressed, and in some cases, dramatically indifferent—sometimes all at once.
As the chaos subsides, Southern Local officials have issued a statement thanking all staff members who bravely participated in the numerical uprising.
“We can only hope,” the statement reads, “that Generation Alpha and Z still like 6-7 after it was aggressively taken over by Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials. We understand if this causes long-term emotional damage, but honestly, that’s the risk you take when you create slang that literally means nothing.”
Further updates will be provided as this story develops—or as soon as someone figures out what “67” was supposed to mean in the first place.
