- I don't know how long it's been since the rest of you were in grade school,
- but I can still remember those days myself, unfortunately. Back then, and
- I'm assuming it is still used, if you said someone was L7, it meant they
- were square. I've read this same reasoning in about 5 interviews of the
- band, and if I really wanted to, I could even give references, but I'm don't
- care that much, so I won't. In this case, it has nothing to do with space
- orbits, vaginal creams, or songs by other bands. It is merely a term from
- the grade school days of the band members.
