Dictionary.com's word of the year is '6-7'

Go ahead and roll your eyes. Shrug your shoulders. Or maybe just juggle your hands in the air.

Dictionary.com's word of the year isn't even really a word. It's the viral term "6-7" that kids and teenagers can't stop repeating and laughing about and parents and teachers can't make any sense of.

The word - if you can call it that - exploded in popularity over the summer. It's more of an inside joke with an unclear meaning, driven by social media. Dictionary.com says its annual selection is a linguistic time capsule reflecting social trends and events. But the site admitted it too is a bit confused by "6-7."
