Dictionary.com has revealed its Word of the Year for 2025.

 

 

This week, the website announced that their word of the year is ’67,’ a term that’s been making waves with Gen-Alpha kids in school.

 

 

According to the organization, the definition of ’67’ remains complicated.

 

 

 

It explained that some people see it as a word that means, ‘so-so,’ while other kids view it as a way to simply annoy their parents.

 

 

The term comes with a matching hand gesture, where ‘both palms face up and move alternately up and down,’ Dictionary.com explained.

 

 

 

However, for most kids, just knowing the term can indicate that you’re part of the ‘cool’ group.
