Talk:What's the 411?

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, but what is "The 411" ?

[edit]

I would assume it is something in USA culture, since I'm not American. Is it the opposite of '101', which I understand to be an arbitrary number traditionally assigned to an introductory course in an academic subject ? Presumably '411' is the the fnal advanced course ? --195.137.93.171 (talk) 20:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Over here in the US, 411 is the number you call to ask for directory assistance. Thus, the phrase "What's the 411?" is slang for "What's up?" or "How's it going?", you're asking for information on something. 24.189.90.68 (talk) 02:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
