<4

originally a typo of the commonly used emoticon <3, <4 is now used to convey a love so great that <3 simply cannot explain it. person 1: i love you. <3 person 2: i love you more! <4 person 1: :: giggles and hugs. :: the broheart. used to express a deep affection for a bro, with absolutely no h-m-s-xual intent. man, what a great weekend. <4 guys, let's do it again soon. the <4 is similar to the <3. it is just a heart with a little more meaning to it. the 4 stands for 4 ever/ forever. i love you 4 ever. <4 a symbol used when someone uses a 4 instead of a 3 when making a heart symbol <3. this can be done on accident making the user look stupid or it can be done on porpose meaning the user more than <3's them. tiffany - "okay. see you then - <4" mike - "you're an idiot." jen - "i love you more than anything in the world. <4" an internet fad used on the halo waypoint forums to signify love and antic-p-tion for halo 4. 343i is going to do something amazing. i can't wait for halo 4. <4 used to say some quant-ty is less than four. some people believe "<4" is stronger than "<3". this is simply false - it is in fact the other way round. clearly any number less than three must also be less than four whereas there are some numbers which are less than four but aren't less than three - this makes "<3" the stronger statement of the two. 3.9999<4, -6<4, 2<4, 0<4 are all correct statements, whereas 4<4, 5<4, 6.434<4 are all examples of false statements. originally coined in 2004 by one michael john keegan, <4 was created to be a play on the ever-popular internet code for love, <3. it has since become a fad, thought by many to have originated as a typo rather than an ent-ty all its own, and has been reabsorbed into the tween culture that prompted its creation. phrases utilizing <4 require unusually hammy dialogue; e.g., omg i <4 u.
