If you’ve heard someone yell “67” and wondered whether you missed an important part of the conversation, you’re not alone.
The bizarre internet phrase has topped a new analysis of Australia’s most searched slang words in 2026, with an estimated 71,400 monthly Google searches for its meaning.
Research by word unscrambling website Unscramblerer.com analysed Google Trends data from January 1st to September 3rd, alongside Ahrefs search data, to identify the slang terms Australians have been most curious about this year.
And while some are familiar, others suggest the internet has entered some seriously strange linguistic territory.
Coming in at number one is “67”, and the catch is that it doesn’t really mean anything.
The phrase is an example of “brainrot” internet humour, where the randomness and absurdity are essentially the joke.
The trend is linked to Skrilla’s song Doot Doot (6 7) and was boosted by basketball star LaMelo Ball, after references to his 6ft 7in height helped the phrase go viral.
It has since become particularly popular among children and teenagers, who can be heard chanting “67” alongside exaggerated hand gestures.
“Mogging”, “mogged” or “mog” ranked second, attracting around 34,800 monthly searches. To “mog” someone means to outclass them, generally by appearing more attractive, skilled or successful.
“Rizz” followed with 31,000 searches, referring to charm, charisma or the ability to attract a romantic partner.
At number four was “gooning”, with 30,300 searches. The term has an explicit origin in some online communities, although it has also developed broader casual uses for becoming intensely absorbed in something.
“Chud” followed with 29,800 searches, generally used as an insult for a fool, troll or unpleasant person.
Then there’s “maxxing”, with 27,500 searches, a flexible suffix describing the aggressive optimisation of something, from “looksmaxxing” to increasingly niche lifestyle trends.
“Cap/no cap” ranked seventh with 20,400 searches, with “cap” meaning a lie or exaggeration and “no cap” meaning someone is being truthful.
“Huzz” came next, followed by “unc”, short for uncle, which is used to jokingly describe someone considered old or out of touch.
At number 10 was “foid”, a derogatory misogynistic term originating from “femoid” and associated with online misogynistic communities.
“Larping”, “chopped”, “crash out”, “clock it” and “ceebs” rounded out the top 15.
