It's funny how people don't seem to remember being a kid. I can name you plenty of memes and in-jokes from middle school/high school where the "joke" was that it had literally no meaning. Adults being confused about kids these days only fuels the joke.

Like, has anyone lost the game recently? You think that's any more high-brow?

    And the only way to kill it is for adults to start saying it, usually incorrectly, as much as possible.

    That would be pretty 6-7 of us adults to do.

    We could shorten it to negative one because that’s six minus seven and shortening things and having to explain them makes them cooler

    I remember being a kid, and yet I do not remember any of the "lol random" things I thought were fucking hilarious except the phrase "penis wrinkle." That shit still makes me laugh so hard it hurts.

    Losing the game was a clear concept with the joke of losing the moment you were reminded you were playing. It didn't have huge depth but it was clever.

    If this thing is truly just a phrase that means absolutely nothing and has no meaning or message or purpose, sure that's cool, but it's no the game.
