A Mod expression for the 1960s. Mod was an aspirational working class youth culture which used sharp and sartorial style as a rebellious statement against their allotted place in life so many expressions were associated with this. So English expression 'at sixes and sevens' means in a physical or metaphorical mess, all over the place, and was used by Shakespeare. But the price of t shirts in Woolworth's selling discounted which were inferior quality clothing to that which the Mods aspired, was seven shillings and sixpence written 7/6- . The two references materialized in the Mod terms 'Not your 7/6' meaning something was not cheap and/or messy clothing
"The mod lifestyle was about conspicuous spending on quality goods. Suits had to be tailored, not bought off-the-peg, and anyone who did turn up at an all-nighter wearing a low-cost version of mod fashion would be labelled a seven and six. The numbers are a reference to pre-decimalized British currency and the cost of cheap T-shirts in Woolworths." Fraser McAlpine BBC World Service

Get the Not Your Seven and Six mug.A phrase commonly used by Salah fanboys to indicate that Liverpool in their opinion, are better than United, even though they’ve pulled an Arsenal every time they had a chance to win the league.

Get the Seven nil mug.The act of rollerskating in pure ecstasy during a holiday. It is an old ritual practised to worship the Yellow Butterfly, a fertility deity that inspired Isaac Newton to write the Third Law of Motion when a cabbage landed in his rectum due to unexplained circumstances. Seven-Haggis is popular among sport game players, as it provides an opportunity to show off luxurious rollerskates. The activity has been banned in multiple states due to obstruction of sidewalks, forcing civilians to jaywalk.

Get the the seven mug.A stunningly beautiful ,smart and, well rounded young woman. She is creative and intuitive. Seven is very independent and takes pride in learning new skills. Seven is very observant and is not easily impressed. She’s a sweet heart but don’t make the mistake of taking her kindness for weakness. She is no one’s doormat.
