This whole thread is so gay.

Or as the younger generations write it; "ghey", so the auto-moderating software doesn't delete their post. There is an increasing amount of slang and acronyms that online posters use to get past censors. 304 may be the signature term for the online generation and Big Brother.

For those that don't know, a 304 is in reference to a "whore", shortened to "hoe" but inverted and reversed to read as "304", pronounced "three oh four", not "three hundred and four".

"304" in this use is not to be confused with the reference to the different 304 cubic inch V-8 engines made by International Harvester or AMC.

Popular music often contains slang references of the time, such as "L7", a slang expression for a "square"; someone who's conventional and old-fashioned.

L7 referred to the square formed by holding the left hand with the pointer finger extended straight up and the thumb to the right and the right hand with the pointer finger straight down and the thumb to the left.

One could silently call another a "square" using only the gesture. L7 was in contrast to someone who was "hip".

Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance"
