Maybe not a teen thing, but among children I think “because 789” could bring 789 into the discussion.
Further cementing that there is an xkcd for everything.
0118 999 881 999 119 725 3
I think it’s more of a 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3
Oh, that’s easy to remember!
I’ve had a bit of a tumble
231, twenty three is number one!
I mean. I’m filled with nostalgia hearing that, but is it a funny number?

You stoopid

It was about that time that I noticed that sweet little verilyfemme was a three story tall crustacean from the Mesozoic era!

8647
58,008 clearly wins.

Women and men love it!

I feel like (6, 7) should definitely be a tuple
6’7" is a non integer measurement.
It’s got nothing to do with height. It’s a Chicago police code for murder. The rapper whose song this was taken from is from Chicago and the the context in which it appears in those lyrics make it clear it’s also about murder.
The 6’7” thing was made up by people trying to find reason or rhyme as to why a shibboleth they didn’t know would be said at a basketball game and inventing that it had to be connected to the height of one player.
There really is an xkcd for everything.
