- In Dutch, X is a word which means "fun"
- In Welsh, X means "nonsense" – e.g., if a person wanted to say "utter nonsense" in Welsh, they would say "rwtsh X".
- Perhaps the most used and therefore the most mispronounced word in the Internet vernacular, X is pronounced as “Unnnhhh-ninininini” with the “Unnnhhh” real low and guttural and the “ninininini” like a high trill — as begrudgingly and maliciously ratified in a 1989 Usenet thread by users who had long since rejected spoken language.
What word am I talking about?
