What Does 459 637 Mean?

459 637 means "I Love You Always And Forever."

459 637 (often typed as as 459637) is a combination of two popular number-based abbreviations ("numeronyms"), 459 ("I Love You") and 637 ("Always And Forever").

459 637 is typically used for brevity, to express devotion online and in text messaging. However, as with all such abbreviations, it is easier to say (or send) than the actual words. Therefore, other than between couples in an established relationship, it is often employed insincerely or to avoid the embarrassment of an actual declaration of undying devotion.

459 637 is often used in response to 143 (which also means "I love you"). For example:

• Sam: 143.
• Cal: 459 637.
• Sam: You've lost me!
• Cal: I love you, always and forever!

An Academic Look at 459 637

459 637 is classified as a type of numeronym, which is a number-based word. Numeronyms can be formed in various ways, such as:

• Shortening a word by replacing a sequence of letters with the count of those letters (e.g., i18n for "internationalization" and a11y for "accessibility").
• Combining letters and numbers (e.g, K9 for "canine" and W3 for "World Wide Web").
• Using numbers to represent letters or words (e.g., 459, 637, and 5201314 for "I will love you for a lifetime").

Some numeronyms were used long before the digital era. Many of the early numeronyms, like 143 and 637, were written on the envelopes of letters between lovers. They were often a coded message between the sender and the recipient, thought to allow secret expressions of love or passion.
