The Error, Which A Server Gives You When The Requested Page Is Unavailable Or Doesn't Exist:
Basically A Broken Link as Such...
Once upon a midnight Dreary,
While I Websurfed Weak And Weary,

Over many a strange & tempting
Website of "Chicks Galore"
Oh So so very Exempting
To take the sites "Free tour"

Of a Sudden, without warning,
Was my heart then filled with mourning,

Mourning for my dear amor,
"Tis' not possible, " i muttered,
"Give me back my cheap hardcore."
But my monitor not cluttered,
Quoth the server "404."

A highway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which, ironically is home to HP, Intel, Xerox and IBM offices.
I totalled my Chevy on the 404.

Area code for those inside the Atlanta city limits; Person living "inside the perimeter," as it were, as opposed to 770, the metro area code, for the suburbs... Also a term of pride tossed about casually when representin' the ATL.
Is she 404 or 770?
404, A-Town all da way.

Adjective: a vacant, stupid person. From the result given when you look for a website that is not there.
That guy's 404--he barely knows his own name.

from the HTTP error "file not found on server" Extended to humans to convey that the subject has no idea or no clue - sapience not found. May be used reflexively
"Uh, I'm 404ing" means "I'm drawing a blank".
