minus-squareRentlar@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·1 year agoI 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.
minus-squareMaster@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoIf 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!
minus-squareandrai@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThe 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
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·1 year agoDoesn’t “XOXO” mean “hugs and kisses”? The X represents a kiss and the O represents a hug.
minus-squareBurnt@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoThat was always my understanding of it.
minus-squareandrai@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah, you are right. Guess we used it wrong in school.
minus-squareVashti@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoYou’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.

Wait…it’s not tooting anymore?
