number seven

Fortune's favored integer

Number seven is the cardinal number between six and eight, but the phrase often carries superstitious or cultural weight.

Seven appears throughout religion, folklore, and luck: seven deadly sins, seven days of creation, lucky number seven.

In casual speech, number seven may refer to a jersey number, a menu item, or a position in a sequence: I'll have the number seven with extra cheese.
