I've always wondered-what happens if you have an address with both an 8 and a 4 in it. Do they cancel each other out?
4=death, 8=fortune
So maybe it means you'll die rich?
4 and 7 sandwiched by other numbers become cussing words and should be avoided. In the case of just 2 digits 48 it does not cancel out each other but the slang becomes an exclamation similar to freaking rich. If another number appears before a "4" then use the rule below regardless how lucky a number is after the "4" in the case "648" the "64" takes precedent.
When used in reverse 84 the meaning is totally different. The slang is bloated (rot) to death. 64 rhymes with Scold to death. 24 rhymes with easy death. 14 rhymes with immediate death, 34 rhymes with youthful death?, 54 rhymes with no dying, 74 rhymes with freaking die, 94 rhymes with eternal death.
It is better to avoid a 4 period even in the case of 54. Chinese are pessimist and they see the glass is half empty. "No dying" is really gravely ill.
