I wonder how many (e)X-twitter users there will be after this change.
Even Mastodon's old lingo "toot"ing sounds more trendy than "x"ing a comment.

"x"ing a comment.
Excreting.

If you remember back to your birthday cards as a kid when your loved ones put XOXO in the card... X is kisses.
So Xing is pronounced Kissing!

Don't tweet it, just exit.

The X isn't kisses. The X stand for closes eyes and the O is an open mouth, hence XO = kiss emote and XOXO is the plural
-
Doesn't "XOXO" mean "hugs and kisses"? The X represents a kiss and the O represents a hug.
-
That was always my understanding of it.
-
Yeah, you are right. Guess we used it wrong in school.
-
You're interpreting a much older shorthand with online emoticon rules. XO is a closed-eye open-mouth emoticon, but XOXO has been "hugs and kisses" for long enough to have been used when people wrote letters by hand.

-
That never made sense to me. X is the shape of two people hugging and O is the shape of pursed lips.
-
Yeah I don't get it either, but it's been that way for so long that we as a society probably stopped questioning it.
-
-
Yeah that's what I grew up learning and my mom taught me that x is kisses o is hugs. Til that it's seen and way!
