Solid Seven

About

The Solid Seven meme is a popular meme on 4chan's sports image board, /sp/. It is used mainly as a saying in response to an unattractive female's picture being posted on the board. The term comes from the well-known "scale from 1 to 10" used to measure female attractiveness. Although a 7/10 is generally a "good" rating on the scale, the meme's usage comes from a post first written on "Two Plus Two Poker Forums".

Origin

The meme's origins can be traced to "Two Plus Two Poker Forums" in a post entitled "My Friend is a Douchebag (TR)". The original poster, cescfrabegas, complained of his friend cock-blocking him from sleeping with what he described as a "solid seven". An excerpt from the post is presented below^[1]:

"Aside from the fact he's screwin me outta getting laid this girl is like a solid 7 and he hasn't had any action for as long as i can remember. I say exactly this and he just kinda says "sorry bro not gonna happen". I try to make it happen with Jane anyway, but she ends up leaving and things are now kind of awkward with her. She was a semi-regular lay so at this point I'm pretty much steaming."

The OP continued on with the post, latter adding that the thread was worthless without pics, and posting several images, including the picture shown in the thumbnail, his "solid 7" being on the left.

After posting the rant, several members of the forum began to ridicule the OP and how his idea of a "solid 7" was unattractive.

Spread

The "solid 7" rant eventually made its way to various forums, including 4chan's /sp/ board ^[2]. Soon enough, the phrase was used on /sp/ to describe any unattractive woman whose picture was posted on the board.

Misuse

Often, those unfamiliar with the meme will use "Solid 7" to describe a woman that actually might be a 7/10 or higher. Usually, the poster is called a newfag, allowing comedy to ensue.
