X? Can we collectively decide to forever call it "X, formerly known as Twitter" just to piss him off?

[-] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago

I like the most recent The Verge variant: Twitter, X, or whatever it’s currently called...

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

TwiX is unfortunately already taken.

Damn, I could go for a twix bar right about now.

I call it Xitter. The X is pronounced with an "sh" sound.

[-] triclops6@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Exitter is also a valid prononciation

I saw someone on Mastodon say something along the lines of "I'll continue to deadname Twitter for as long as Musk continues to deadname his daughter" and I love that sentiment.

daaaaaaamn. That's brilliant.

Better to just call it “The site formerly known as Twitter” and don't mention X at all. That would piss him off more.

"...posted on social media..."

[-] mriguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ooh, even better!

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Seems like it will be the website formerly known as existing soon enough.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just call it Twitter. Just like I call the (former?) rapper Kanye West. I don't cater to the whims of the 1% if I can help it.
