Is the idiotic 67 thing like saying right, or using run to describe wearing a shirt?

I listen to a lot of news, mostly because I work solo every day….and I’ve noticed ever since tampon used folks, nearly everyone is using the word.

I say folks occasionally and don't hear it from others very often so I wasn't aware this is an issue.
