ive always said humming seven fourths and plus.
as for why its called that... I dont know... lol...
now that you bring it up its a very good question!

a quick google about 7/4 seems to bring up music notes...

Quote:
These numbers are time signatures. In brief, they tell you how many beats are in a measure. (This answer might not work as well for people not familiar with music that doesn't have a strong rhythmic component.)

To start this off, think of a waltz. You might count it out like this: One two three one two three (and so on). That's 3/4 time; each measure is three quarter-notes long (or the equivalent number of notes of other lengths).

Most music is in 4/4, also known as common time, where measures are four quarter-notes long. One two three four one two three four (and so on), or perhaps : One two three four (etc), or any other such variation; which beats are stressed doesn't change the time signature, but how many notes you can fit into a measure will.

Tempo is the speed of a piece, and is independent of the time signature. (Think of the movie "That Thing You Do", where the drummer made the band's piece a hit by simply speeding it up. It was still mostly the same song, but had more energy at a faster tempo.)

There are other time signatures, such as 2/4 (think of polkas) and less-common meters like 5/4 and 7/4. You'll also see meters like 7/8, where there are seven eighth notes in a measure. Time signature can change within a piece, although this isn't too common.
