6’s, & 7's.
Of Sixes, & Sevens.
“Of Sixes, and Sevens”….
This, was actually a phrase.
People have uttered it in a song, “at six and sevens with you”, which sounds seriously romantic at first — but what it means, is actually quite the opposite that you are actually always cross with or in a very unlikeable situation with, when you are presently with, or even just associated with that person.
And a phrase only needed to be read in closed quotations,( um, those things: / “….” / ) . Er, Not the ellipses.
— to denote that it was not yours to begin with, or have tended to only being quoted (or probably alliterated, probably) in something you have spoken, but mostly (or, as you are reading this), written down.
Not sure how that evolved to be that, but i think if i researched it, i would absolutely come up with the answer.
Off the cuff though, it means you hate each other’s guts, are constantly, inexplicably always at each others’ throats, or even maybe, comparably want to end each other in an interminably socially compounded way, and is, all of these, used in a fixed manner of being discreet about it. “We are at sixes and sevens, of late” (not on the daily, or ever since, but of late, like you know, just recently). I just don’t quite think anyone seriously uses it anymore these days, in normal everyday parlance.
I mean seriously. They’re just numbers right?
But people often (really often than one can actually count, or seriously own up to), use really permissively laborious ways to express their real evolving thought, as in not in the easiest of ways in a permutation series that might subject the extreme and useful efficiency of energy-saving ecology systems today, as in a very anciently metered aiambic pentametre kind of way, but simpler, more direct, and possibly, less bold.
“We are in a fight”, would have sufficed, wouldn’t it?
The extreme technicality of jargon, whether it was in accelerators or simply in common languages spoken everyday, that thing that makes people turn to logic or the pleasure of thrashing other people’s existence with your supreme knowledge of technical um, stuff, in it dothn’t really need to be that complicated, (really) — par example, in occuring a range of expressions, or as in a text mobile or an internal office desk to office desk, or external to a person out-of-office, from a person-in-office chat message or a (hmmmm, maybe a very very very very informal internal email) from:
🌸❤️😎🙄💥🍷🗝🥸🤒🥺😫😍
To, mostly…
“Hi, maybe we should go out.”
(Women go for the second line, to be frank and direct and “honest”, but i think if you prefer the circularity or the endless syntax of love jargon, that might be totally another blog.)
Ciphers are usually appealed to, in the former.
The emojis are a sign of Fun, hilarity, total incandescence masked in the attempt to convey lightness. While in the latter, directness and looming desperation in its attempt to be rather forward and possibly, assuming.
Several things occur in the mind of the receiver of the second one:
1/ Are people really no longer lighthearted?
2/ Does this person expect me to respond?
3/ Why am i sent this?
4/ (Looks round her…) Is this a joke?
So, without a real compendium (or manual), what does it all mean? I think the love languages are not without hesitation nor approached very tentatively, without good reason.
People who inhabit a motive - ulterior, exterior, really horny, for the night only, or whatever suits you - in saying anything, which is a very safe assumption of everyone in the 20th to 21st century - and probably in the Digital Age, would explain the way their words express themselves (assuming you know that they are really that sort who are wordsmiths, in the first place). Like the italics, instead of quote marks, are a technical writer’s jargon for when you me-speak in the first person, as you talk to yourself in a corrective or simply qualify, as an aside to the central thought process, as what is called a digress.
Sometimes, it is in the unique style of a person, in their manner of speaking, or dressing, or dealing with suitors, or attending to their mates (friends in the same circles of the opposite sex, but it means teammates mostly in soccer teams, or in english rugby parlance).
So, in sussing this out, (Sussing, means researching or analysing incessantly until you are satisfied it is their exact meaning, without awkwardly being asked outright), which usually as time, and then the complete ignorance of the frictional incongruence of other people’s mindless assumptions (or, thoughtless, in a capacity of meaning that you hadn’t exactly minded what the other person receiving the message was imposed upon), - in that certain order - so it would occur an intuitive understanding of what is the elusive decoding of anyone’s absolute words, and even in complete digress, gasp! oh gosh, their actual true blue meaning - or what is the, context.
And no, it doesn’t take a genius.
It sometimes just takes a writer. 😇
