I love it. That was what we used to say when telling people to close an application. Click the X to close it got shortened to x out of it and then just x-it.
In Mayan, X has an “sh” sound. My wife and I used to vacay regularly at a resort near Playa del Carmen called Kailumm from mid 80s until ‘04. Long since paved over by brick and mortar, the common area bathing areas were named Xaur, Xave and Xit.
Unfortunately Kailumm closed for good after the 04 season. It may have reopened at another location but last I saw the Riviera was creeping down. Playa used to be a sleepy fishing village back in the day. Kailuumm no electricity except kitchen. Food was great. Haven’t been there since.
Yeah haven’t heard of that one but PDC is still great. Not a sleepy fishing village anymore but way more lowkey than Cancun and less hipster than tulum. Love bringing my kids, there’s so much to do and I’ve never felt unsafe. I’ve been all over but for the price playa is def a favorite
I mean… I’ve been calling the bird place “Xitter” for a while and anytime I engaged with something that Melon Husk was tagged in I made sure to deadname it.
And I pronounce the “X” part as “Sh”, so there’s that.

Can I claim autocorrupt?
Sure you can, that's clever. Xit.
I would pronounce it "Twitzit".
A huge boil on the ass of Americans. Let's POP him!
See pic below: Reactions have mocked Musk for failing to stick to his own platform's name and for the "failed" $44B rebranding.
It’s like branding a Verb.
1️⃣ Xpel / Xpelled
To get rid of waste material 🤣
“I Xpelled my full account last night. Are you going to Xpel yours too?”
3️⃣ Xodus
Exodus means departure.
2️⃣ eXit
Pretty obvious. … meh.
4️⃣ Xpat
Left by choice! (vs Xile)
THIS is how you pronounce ZIT 👇
Then “shit”. THEN “exit”.
All pronunciations fit, imo, so I vote for you to have naming rights. 😄
Use the Mayan pronunciation that vocalizes "x" as "sh".
And I pronounce the “X” part as “Sh”, so there’s that.
#Xit
Now how do we keep the clips and pics of the PAB back there?
So to avoid having people reading Xit it as "zit" I'd either hyphenate it (as X-it) or go with Xodus.
