alt text: A "xit" from user @ChrpngBrd in which he responds to another "xit" from @BlueBoxDave that says "If Israel falls then America falls. It's that simple." @ChrpngBrd's response is a thumbs up emoji, and two stills from The Simpsons S02E19 "Lisa's Substitute." In which, the first image is Martin Prince putting up a poster saying "A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy!" and the second image is Bart Simpson putting up a poster that says "A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy!"

I like calling them "xit" since you can either pronounce it "zit" or "shit"

(genuine question) what's the intended pronunciation? exit? that's so dumb lol. i've still been calling them tweets

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No idea lol. I think Elon wants us to just call them "Xs", which I will certainly not be doing

ya i'm definitely going to either keep calling them tweets or start calling them zits/shits like you lol
