The 6

The 6 is named after the six constituent municipalities that were amalgamated in 1998 to form what we now call 'Toronto': East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York, and the City of Toronto. It has nothing to do with the telephone area codes (416 being the oldest).

I live in The 6.

the 6

A number the rapper Drake is suspiciously fond of. Claims to refer it to his hometown Toronto area codes: 416, 647, or 437. 6 is also the number of Sin (excessiving drinking, usage of drugs, fornication, sleeping around, porn, lust, lying, cursing, etc) and The Devil, a.k.a Satan. Ex: 666- mark of the beast.

Person: Why doesnt Drake refer to numbers 4 or 1 in his songs, why he put so much empasis on the 6?
Other Person: Cuz 6 is the number of the devil, and it promotes Satan and sin in his music.
Person: Satan, we rebuke you and your works. Jesus Christ is Lord over all!
