Every generation seems to have its own language, and Gen Alpha is no different. Unfortunately, a lot of parents are left turning to Google to try to figure out what kids these days are talking about.

Kentucky’s Most Googled Slang Words in 2025

If you’ve found yourself wondering what phrases like “6-7” or “sybau” mean, trust me when I tell you, you’re not alone. A new analysis of Google search data by Unscramblerer.com reveals the latest slang words Kentucky residents have been most curious about in 2025, and the list shows just how much social media is shaping our lexicon.

Viral Words Like 6 7 and Sybau Top the List

Top searches include “sybau,” a not-so-polite way of telling someone to be quiet, “sharking,” which means looking for casual romantic encounters, and “sigma,” which is described as a “lone wolf” personality who thrives independently.

More slang rounding out Kentucky’s top 10 includes “bop,” which is a derogatory term for someone who “bops” between partners, “chopped,” meaning someone or something is ugly or undesirable, and “huzz,” which is used to describe an attractive person or love interest. Then there's “sendy,” meaning to go all in, “dih,” which is a censored version of a vulgar word, and “clanker,” which is a derogatory jab at robots or AI.

Taking the top spot for most searched slang words in Kentucky, though, is a phrase with no literal meaning at all. “6-7” has taken over TikTok and YouTube as part of so-called “brainrot” humor. Originating from the Skrilla song Doot Doot (6 7) and popularized by NBA player LaMelo Ball, the phrase is often shouted or paired with exaggerated hand gestures just for laughs.

Nationally, “6-7” also ranks number one, followed by “bop”, “mogging,” which means to outclass someone, and “huzz.”

TikTok and Meme Culture Are Fueling Slang Evolution

Experts say slang evolves faster than ever thanks to TikTok, gaming, and meme culture, mirroring the way Gen Z and Gen Alpha connect, joke, and express themselves online.
