404
(fohr.oh.fohr) adj. Relating to a person who is out of touch or clueless.

Example Citation:
"It's rather silly that teen flicks are racking up huge box office numbers and Hollywood's acting like it's some earth-shattering phenomenon. Studio execs, you're so 404."
—"Gusto," The Buffalo News, March 5, 1999

Notes:
This adjective (which appeared originally in Gareth Branwyn's Jargon Watch column) comes from the following Web server error message:

   404 Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server.

This would be the Web equivalent of "the lights are on but no one's home" and other fulldeckisms.
