304 has become a popular term on social media platforms like TikTok, but many people still don’t know what it means.
TikTok is used by people of all ages, meaning that talking about inappropriate subject matters can lead to your account being suspended or deleted.
Due to the platform’s strict moderating rule, creators and users have come up with unique terms and codewords to discuss more taboo or adult-themed topics.
One of the most popular terms on TikTok is ‘accountant,’ which refers to people in the adult entertainment industry. The slang blew up after “struggling actor” Rocky Paterra explained in a song why he prefers to tell people he’s an accountant instead of explaining what he actually does for a living.
Now, another codeword known as ‘304’ is making the rounds on the app, and many users aren’t sure what it means. Here’s what you should know next time you see the term on TikTok.
What is 304 on TikTok?
A 304 is a term used to refer to a promiscuous woman or sex worker. If you type the number 304 into an old-school LED calculator and flip it upside down, it should look like the word “h*e,” which some use as a slang word for the profession.

One of the top Urban Dictionary definitions for 304 states that it’s “a way you can call a thot or b*tch a h*e without actually calling her that.”
However, on TikTok, the term is primarily used by women themselves and does not seem to have a negative connotation.
Since the short-form video app has banned certain words or phrases, a TikTok community known as ‘304tok’ has emerged, providing a space for sex workers to discuss their experiences, answer questions, and educate people.
This isn’t the only number gaining attention on TikTok; the unsettling 690252 trend has also been making the rounds this year.
