Xitting

[–] Flanders_Poppy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Xit, Xitting, Xat. Keeping in mind that most people pronounce the "x" as "sh".

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Why would anyone pronounce it like that?

I don't know why Elon musk didn't just call it tXting

[–] Ducks@ducks.dev 8 points 2 years ago

That would have been too smart

Xreeching

[–] bignavy@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

So glad I Xited right after Musk’s purchase was finalized. My days are freer and my conscience is clear!

[–] Possiblystupid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That just sound like something that should be done in private. Maybe somthing you should consult your doctor about.

Twitter > Tweeting > Tweet

X > Xcreting > Xcrement?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Xeet - one better than yeet.

[–] Raisin8659@monyet.cc 3 points 2 years ago

Now every body can enjoy eXcreting all the X's

[–] aesopjah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The verb tweet was the only thing they had going for them.

[–] bigkix@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People sure are obsessed by an app they supposedly don't even use.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

That's because Twitter was a widely used common platform, even if you didn't use it you still got news from there.

So people get annoyed when it got x'ed.

Hold up one second, what do you call posting on mastodon? Masting? Mastering? Mastodoning?

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Tooting, it's what a Mastodon do. Posts in Mastodon are Toots

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Musk's new designation shall be Xcretus.
