Olá pessoal,

24-7 quer dizer o "tempo todo":

Ex: She thinks about him 24-7.(Ela pensa nele o tempo todo)
Ex: They work 24-7.(Elas trabalham o tempo todo.)

Hello Donay!

Thank so much

Exemplos:

1. I work the graveyard shift at a very skeezy 24/7 Porn Shop.
2. The campus center at my college is open 24/7.
3. I am a college student with alopecia areata, wears a wig almost 24/7, and barely anyone says a thing about it.

Vocab:

Graveyard shift = turno da noite.
Skeezy = vagabundo, suspeito e sujo.
Alopecia areata = alopecia.
