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.
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!
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.
Yeah, you are right. Guess we used it wrong in school.
