ELI5: What is 67 slang

"67 slang" refers to being betrayed or set up by someone you trusted, like a friend.

Imagine you and your best friend are planning a surprise party for another friend. You tell your best friend all the details: where it's happening, when, and who's invited. But then, your best friend, instead of helping, tells the person you're trying to surprise everything. That's like being "67'd".

Think of it like this:

• You have a secret, a really important secret.
• You trust someone with that secret.
• Instead of keeping it safe, they reveal it or use it against you.
• That's getting "67'd".

Here’s another example: Suppose you and your sibling are saving up for a new video game together. You both agree to put your allowance money in a piggy bank. Then, one day, you discover your sibling took some money from the piggy bank without telling you. They essentially "67'd" you by breaking your agreement and trust.
