Six-Seven

Two numbers said with a hand gesture, meaning nothing. Every classroom on Earth had banned it by October 2025; the dictionary announcement in December was the coroner arriving.

I have written a lot of these and this one is straightforward: 1 yr, peaked 2025, cause “Dictionary.com Word of the Year, 2025”. There is no mystery. There is only the small sadness of a thing that was exactly right for a while.
