“6-7” Linked To Shakespeare And Dice Game: The NY Post says the nonsensical brainrot term “6-7” may have historical ties to a medieval dice game called Hazard, now known as craps. Columnist David Marcus writes, “In the game, a player would call out the number he was trying to shoot for, or make, with two six-sided dice. Five, eight and nine were the most likely results. Six and seven, gamblers quickly discovered either through math or experience, offered lower odds and hence less chance of winning. From then on, six and seven, taken together, became forever associated with risk and worry. It can be found in the works of Chaucer, and has marched quite steadily down through the centuries.” William Shakespeare once said, “I should to Plashy too, but time will not permit. All is uneven, and everything is left at six and seven,” is supposedly an expression he would use in his play “Richard II.”…… More HERE
