If your 555 them i'm -__________
Correct Answer 666
Explanation The given answer, "666", is the continuation of the phrase "If your 555 them i'm -" which is a play on words. It is a reference to the common phrase "If you're 555, then I'm 666" which was popularized by the band Slipknot in their song "Heretic Anthem". In this context, "555" represents a number associated with change or transformation, and "666" is often associated with the devil or evil. The answer is a humorous response implying that if someone is "555" then the speaker is even more extreme or intense, represented by the number "666".
