Why ‘41' Is Trending in Teen Slang — & Why It's the New ‘6-7'
Tired of hearing '6-7' all the time from your teens? You're in luck … kind of. A new phrase has popped up that experts say is going to replace the nonsensical slang term: '41.' But it's poised to be just as annoying as the first one. What Is 6-7? As a quick refresher, 6-7 is a slang term that doesn't really mean anything — it's just something teens (and tweens!) like to say as often as they can. More from SheKnows Does More Freedom Equal Less Screen Time? Experts Think So In a previous interview with our SheKnows Teen Council, 16-year-old Gary explained it like this: 'Okay, so six-seven, to be kind of broad, it's just two numbers that you say to be funny. It's like in any situation, you'd be like, 'well, how many times you do this?' You could say 'six, seven,'' he said. It started from a song by a rapper named Skrilla, who said '6-7' in the lyrics and a clip from the moment went viral on TikTok. So, What Is 41? Now, middle school teacher and keeper of Gen Z slang Mr. Lindsay alerted followers to the new trending number '41.' 'Bad news if you didn't like 6-7, you're not gonna like this one either,' he said in a video on Instagram. Although kids aren't quite saying it yet, they are 'starting to pick up on' 41. 'It starts from a song by a rapper named Blizzy Boi, and he says that he is 41, and he has 41 of everything,' Mr. Lindsay says. According to Know Your Meme, the song originally debuted in Aug. 2021, but it went viral recently once a clip was posted to TikTok. 'If you're kids aren't saying #41 yet, they will be soon! Is it the new #67 ?' Mr. Lindsay captioned the video. Considering how teens today are constantly trying to move on to the next viral moment, it wouldn't surprise us at all if '41' eclipsed '6-7' just because it's new and different. The '41' trend might be kinda silly, but at least it's not dirty or referencing anything explicit, right? We're finally getting a break from everything being '69'!

Why Teens Are Talking About ‘Jet2 Holidays' Right Now
If you have teens in your life — or are just as chronically online as we are! — then you've probably heard, 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!' repeatedly lately. Teens love repeating this phrase on TikTok and IRL, but no, it has nothing to do with promoting the airline company Jet2. Middle school teacher Mr. Lindsay, aka, the guru of all things teen slang, gave his weekly update on what kids are saying right now. Along with, 'I'm a Mommy' and 'Mamacita' from Love Island and Justin Bieber's, 'It's not clocking to you,' Mr. Lindsay quotes, 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday, where you can save £50 per person.' More from SheKnows New Research Says Smartphones Contribute to 'Detachment From Reality' in Kids - Yet 81% Have Them What? Why have teens locked in on this ad? It's actually just one of those random things, and the resulting videos are actually pretty funny. According to Know Your Meme, this phrase comes from a YouTube ad for a British airline. The ad, set to 'Hold My Hand' by Jess Glynne, features a British female voice saying the phrase Mr. Lindsay quotes. The sound went viral on TikTok, where teens started sharing videos of chaotic, underwhelming, dangerous, or stupid scenarios set to the sound. So far, 1.6 million videos have been made with this sound on TikTok. This one shows a teen opening the curtains of a hotel room to reveal a tiny window. Like this one, where a kid was hit in the face by a fish or this one, where an elephant grabbed a girl around the mouth. It's silly and funny, and we love it. 'Chances are if you have a social media account and you live in 2025 on planet Earth, you've heard my voice,' the voice actor behind the viral sound, Zoë Lister, said in a TikTok video, adding that she is 'in a permanent state of stupid joy, slight anxiety and overwhelm, and 'What the f— is going on?'' We can only imagine hearing your own voice all over social media and hearing teens repeat it in life too. This is just another silly teen slang trend, like meltmaxxing or 'holy airball.'
