And as area codes lose their foothold, certain cultural references may also drop their meaning. 'How long before Ludacris's 'Area Code' ceases to make sense?' asked Mr. Rojas, referring to a song in which the rapper uses only area codes to refer to locations where he has had sexual encounters. 'That song only works if people know where each area code is located.'
