what does all sixes and sevens mean
âSixes and sevensâ as we use it today actually has two related but distinct meanings. When we say âIâm all sixes and sevensâ or the like, it means that we are confused, disoriented and uncertain, either in general or in regard to a specific problem.ut âsixes and sevensâ can also mean a state of irreconcilable conflict, usually preceded by âatâ (âBob and Bill were best friends, but the arrival of Mary set them at sixes and sevens for the whole summerâ).
