Google joins in on the '6-7' trend. How to make your screen shake.

James Powel and Greta Cross, USA TODAY

The relentless march of "6-7" has reached Google's search engine, as the tech giant has added an Easter Egg when a user searches for the now ubiquitous piece of internet culture.

When "6-7" or "67" are entered as a search on the engine, the resulting page will shake in a manner similar to the hand motion – moving the hands up and down, palms up, like weighing two objects –  that accompanies the meme. The effect works on desktop and mobile searches.

The meme has appeared on South Park , been the name of a pardoned pig , and even caused uproars at college basketball games when a team scores 67 points .

Google has now added an Easter Egg for those that search the popular '6-7'.

Meme history: Dictionary.com names '6-7' as 2025 Word of the Year. Here's what it really means.

What does '6-7' mean?

The meaning of "6-7" is fluid . Dictionary.com states that some people interpret it to mean "so-so" or "maybe this, maybe that," but it can also be used in isolation to draw laughter and sow confusion.

Because of its shifting meaning, the online dictionary says its an example of "brainrot slang," which is intended to be "nonsensical and playfully absurd," like last year's " skibidi. "

Brain rot, which was the  2024 Oxford Word of the Year , is defined as the assumed deterioration of a person's mental state as the result of overconsumption of material online considered to be trivial or unchallenging.

In October, Dictionary.com announced  "6-7" as its Word of the Year .

"It’s part inside joke, part social signal and part performance," Steve Johnson, director of lexicography for the Dictionary Media Group at IXL Learning said in the news release announcing the selection. "When people say it, they’re not just repeating a meme; they’re shouting a feeling. It’s one of the first Words of the Year that works as an interjection – a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means."
