I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like “xoxo” type of thing.

punkwalrus@lemmy.world 6 months agoI got all of that except “shag ye x,” because it sounds like “shah (fuck) you x,” where “x” is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, “I’m trying to shag you, love?” or “Fuck your ex,” as in, the lady person you broke up with?

Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.

The release of Shrek is closer to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the release of the first Sony Walkman than it is to today

“x” is a kiss, used as an informal “yours truly” in British English digital correspondence

Wait, I thought ‘x’ was hug and ‘o’ was kiss. Have I been wrong all these years??

X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK)
