Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week

24/7 is another way to say "all the time." The 24 refers to 24 hours a day, and the 7 refers to the seven days a week.

People may use 24/7 (pronouncing it as "twenty-four seven") in verbal conversation or messages and online (often when exaggerating time). For example, your friend may tell you, "I feel like a prisoner. My dad is watching me 24/7." since his dad caught him sneaking out. Or, you might text your bother, "I've been thinking about you 24/7 since the accident. How are you doing?"

You might also see people use 24/7 when referencing continuous business operation hours. Examples include a grocery store or pharmacy that is open 24/7.
