A question for anyone NOT in America

Hi,

I registered a domain name with the number "411" in it and was wondering if this number means anything to people outside of the United States. If you didn't know, 411 is the number we previuosly called for directory assistance. I say previously because with so many cell phones and the fact that most phone companies charge for directory assistance, I don't think 411 is used much anymore. But I still think "411" is ingrained in American slang as a synonym for information, which is why I chose it.

Do you think non-Americans associate "411" with information?

By the way, this is for a gay site that will provide reviews and information (the domain is Dick411). One of the reasons I thought 411 is well known is because Bear411 uses it and they seem to have a ton of members from all over the world. But that could have nothing to do with knowing what 411 means I suppose.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I am french (slap me ; ) )
411 evokes nothing to me ..i have lived in France,Germany and Brazil...

No, nothing for me, too

But thanks - I was always wondering what "411" meant :D

411 as far as I remember here in Canada is only for directory assistance

Cheers

411 is the number for directory assistance in Canada.

Here it's also become a slang term for "information."

So you might say to someone, "Come over to my desk and I'll give you the four-one-one on your new boss."

abba-so-lutely means nothing here in Oz:shock:

That's the number of men at that sex party I went to in Prague.

Doesn't mean anything to me here in Greece and I don't rember it being anything back in the UK but it's a long time since I was there.

Isn't it the exchange rate of dollar/euro at the moment? :crybaby:
