wow total revelation
Its hardly a cork thing is it?

suitcasepink · 21-06-2011 5:02pm

Why would x be more known than o if o was a kiss?
That makes no sense for o to be a kiss.. Imagine typing "Hey how are you? Oo" :pac:

Are you arguing with WIKIPEDIA??? "Some sources discuss the possibility of "x" referring hugs and "o" referring to kisses"

X is a kiss, o is a hug. Guys don't give hugs. Case closed.

This has to be up there among the daftest threads on boards. Its even sillier than that one the ladies lounge used to have, asking what shoulder you carried your handbag on.

Theres no blame attached to anyone.... The fact that 3 pages of debate has not solved the question is worrying however.

Kisses are x, hugs are o. End of.

suitcasepink · 21-06-2011 10:21pm

I think we should go deeper though...
Like do people use x's? Or o's? Or both? Capitals or not? How many? When are they used? To whom?

I think we could have a hugely detailed convo on it tbh.

You mean in text form or in real life?

'Cause I never send 'o's in texts but if I'm on a night out a lot of people get a manly (yet affectionate) man-hug from me! :pac: It's totally allowable...

As someone who talks to other people online instead of texting, I have often found the uses of Xs in text messages to be an honestly confusing matter. If I recieve a text with three Xs in it in an "Xxx" formation at 2am in the morning from some girl I haven't talked to in months, does that mean anything, or is it just classic 2am drunk texting to ignore?

What does the amount of Xs mean? What does it mean?

Screw this, I'm going back to MSN. At least people usually make sense then

Never in texts though!

I use x's at the end of texts to my friends, usually 3/4, all in lower case. I can't stand when they're in 2 different cases!:mad: I have one friend who gets something along the lines of xoxo cos that's what she sends me!:P And my boyf gets x's and o's at the end of texts *awwwww*:pac:

Its not really drunk texting if they're able to type the x's coherently without making a mistake...

What does the amount of Xs mean? What does it mean?

one or 2, theyre not too bothered, 3-8, they might like you, 10+, theyre into you...
