I searched the words smooth seven and everything on urban dictionary but still couldn't figure out!

Best Answer

When you pick up trash, you pick it and dispose of it properly, like in a trash can. However, pick up also has another meaning:

pick up
[transitive] to go and meet someone or something that you have arranged to take somewhere in a vehicle
Will you pick me up after the party?
I need to pick up my luggage before leaving.

It is often used to confirm a romantic date, as in

How about dinner tonight? I'll pick you up around seven (o'clock).

In other words, the second comment was a pick-up line used to ask the other person out on a date. "Is seven okay?" means "Is seven o'clock okay?", or "Can I pick you up at seven o'clock?"

The third comment, "you smooth fucker", is acknowledging that the other person was skillful, suave and that the pick-up line was clever.
