The Language of the Internet: What Indiana and America are searching for in 2025

INDIANA – An analysis of Google search data for 2025 shows a striking overlap in the slang words most searched for in Indiana and across the United States. The research, conducted by word-finding experts at Unscramblerer.com, reveals that viral trends from TikTok, Instagram, and online gaming are rapidly shaping modern language. 🌐

The top-ranking slang term in both Indiana and the U.S. is “6-7,” a nonsensical phrase that serves as a prime example of “brainrot” internet humor. The term, which has no literal meaning, originates from a song by the artist Skrilla and gained popularity through a video featuring basketball player LaMelo Ball. Kids and teens often chant it while using exaggerated hand gestures.

Indiana’s top searches reflect both viral trends and platform-specific language, or “Algo speak,” which users employ to bypass content moderation filters.
