in my correspondance to members of the female pursuasion.... ah hell why can't i just type normally? when i get emails or texts from girls, i invariably get some combination of 'x's tacked on the end. now, i had it explained to be at some point quite a while ago that one 'x' means this, two 'x's' mean that, and three of them means the other. then sometimes i get a whole line of em ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') and sometimes the enigmatic 'xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo' (http://www.fragileworks.com/reilly/archives/portfolio/OXO-Cube-thumb.jpg), which just serves to complicate things further!

whats going on here... what is the code? is there even a code or was the person who explained it to me just talking outta their ass? :confused:

Kisses and hugs, it means.

x is kiss, o is hug.http://www.smileys.ws/smls/action/00000032.gif

Kisses and hugs, it means.
x - kisses
xx - hugs
xxx - kisses and hugs
:confused:

or:

x - kisses and hugs
xx - kisses and hugs and kisses and hugs
xxx - kisses and hugs, kisses and hugs, and some more kisses and hugs :confused:


x is kiss, o is hug.http://www.smileys.ws/smls/action/00000032.gif
ok that helps

do most people know this and i'm just lacking in some form of vital knowledge or something?

It's a straight-edge thing. You wouldn't understand.

Hell I'm a dude, and I can tell you this is correct. What kind of social life do you have that you don't know this;)

actually i've been practically (damn near enough) straight-edge for months, ever since i got back from Amsterdam... it sucks :(

I think it's a modified version of binary. x corresponds to 1 while o corresponds to 0

Hell I'm a dude, and I can tell you this is correct. What kind of social life do you have that you don't know this;)
the answer is pretty self-evident i think :(

though nobodys answered my main question about the number of x's :confused:

Just as long as none of your correspondence from female friends ends with the word 'N.O.R.W.I.C.H.', your edge should go undulled.

PM has a social life? What did I miss?

do most people know this and i'm just lacking in some form of vital knowledge or something?

The latter I'm afraid. Haven't you ever seen "kisses" in greetings cards?

you don't get 8,500 posts with a social life i can tell you :p

as far as I know a bunch of kisses, what you thought I had a life?? I'm posting on an internet forum on a Friday night of course I don't have a life.:p

though nobodys answered my main question about the number of x's :confused:

The amount of kisses.

The latter I'm afraid. Haven't you ever seen "kisses" in greetings cards?
yeah i know x means kisses (i'm not that retarded) but what about the number?
ok i didn't know what the 'o' was, but thats just cos i'm a loser

arg :mad:

you don't get 8,500 posts with a social life i can tell you :p
I had no social life when I had 2500 posts. I had no social life before I played NS. NS is my social life. :(

For future reference I also am a dude.

I think it's a modified version of binary. x corresponds to 1 while o corresponds to 0

X could, of course, stand for Jesus (Cf. Xmas), and O for the emptiness of life without him...

The amount of kisses.
yeah you see the code as this girl explained to me was something like
one x: like you
two x: like you lots
three x: loves ya

and she was very specific about it. maybe she was just insane.

anyways my ego's taken enough of a bruising tonight and i've given up caring - i'm off to bed. 'night all :)

amen brother :(

The number is the number of kisses. And I didn't know about the "o" until recently. Obviously someone liked noughts & crosses (tic-tac-toe)

Or, using simply mathematics, one realizes that the entire sequence of X0X0X0X....is equal to zero. Thank you to the zero-multiplication property.

Thus proving that all kisses and hugs are meaningless, and thus love does not exist.

Or, wait. I'm over-analyzing as usual. :(

Unless it is intended as 'X to the power of zero to the power of X to the power of...".




Obviously.

Wasn't it Zelazney (following Lacan) that stated 'love is an imaginary number'?

Obviously.
Although, in that case wouldn't the answer be just 1?

Was, refering to the original posts insinuation that it was somekind of code used by girls, not really refering to you.

just making sure.

Just as long as none of your correspondence from female friends ends with the word 'N.O.R.W.I.C.H.', your edge should go undulled.

Ok, I'll bite. What does N.O.R.W.I.C.H stand for?

Don't believe what people are telling you. Girls claim that it means kisses and hugs. But it is really code. Sort of like binary code. X=1, O=0. But it's not true binary code. It follows a different set of rules of which I am unfamilure.

If a girl gives you a letter that is confusing, what do a lot of guys do? They make the mistake of presenting it to a trusted female friend to interpret. How does your female friend know how to interpret it. By the secreat girl code that is. This ensures that you are properly manipulated.

whats going on here... what is the code? is there even a code or was the person who explained it to me just talking outta their ass? :confused: There are two possibilities.
1 - Women are excitable and prone to odd things like sending repeated Xs.
2 - Women are trying to tell you something and your male brain cannot figure it out.

Ok, I'll bite. What does N.O.R.W.I.C.H stand for?

Nickers Off Ready When I Come Home.

...and yes, I know that 'knickers' is normally spelt with a K, but hey, I didn't invent the acronym, did I?

or Name One Reason Why I Came Here

but anyhow..to answer the original question..isn't O=hug and X=kiss and then the more of the x's and o's the more of them? i always thought so

/is a girl and still doesn't ahve no definite clue, but would like to add that acronymfinder.com is your friend :)

Tell Dan Brown, could be another awful, and equally implausible novel " The text signature code"

though nobodys answered my main question about the number of x's :confused:

x: 1 kiss
xx: 2 kisses
xxx: 3 kisses
xxxx: 4 kisses
xxxxx: 5 kisses
etc.

Run away. Or run towards. Depending on how serious the X's are and who they come from.

The amount of kisses.
Arrgh it canna be that hard can it?

OMG i have known of the x and o since i was like OMG 5 how could you not know?

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey PM,

Im gonna havta go underground for releasing this information, considering its directly from the Women's Handbook, (yes, they are issued one at puberty).

In it, many of thier secrets are revealed.

The xoxoxox at the bottom of the letter, is indeed, code.

Its much like binary.
In binary, 1's indicate an closed circut, and 0's indicate a open circut.
However, number values can also be applied.

In the xoxoxox thing, its simply "in and out".
ergo, the more x's and o's at the end of the letter, indicates the senders willingness for wild monkey sex.
No x's, or o's.....your future is full of wankery.
Many...shaggery.

It's a straight-edge thing. You wouldn't understand.

xGrampusx

Bah. Consider me yKanabiay

do most people know this and i'm just lacking in some form of vital knowledge or something?
EVERYONE knows this! WTF is WRONG wid u, man??? :D

You're all wrong. It is a code used by communist agents, and their controllers.

x=I don't know you but I love you.
xx=I'm feeling frisky!
xxx=I have an O.C.D. where i have to hit the x key three times, sorry!
xxxx=I'm a slut! Do me!
xxxxx....=Somebody's passsed out on their keyboard.

From my experience, the number of Xs can have a double meaning. If you get one or two, it normally signifies your a good friend, but more could mean they're interested. But equally, more can mean they are particularly happy with you, or are joking with you, and so forth....

bitter experience!

I have no code with my amount of "x"s. The amount I use is usually dependant on how many spaces I have left in the text. Or dependant on a need for speed. Or totally random. And I think most people are the same so I wouldn't hold anything to it.

xxx=I have an O.C.D. where i have to hit the x key three times, sorry! This is off topic, but does that sort of thing really mean you have OCD? 'Cos if that's true, then I'm only just beginning to get rid of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!

Actually, it is my understanding that O.C.D.s come in many forms, including the uncontrollable desire to repeat an action numerous times. If one is compelled to obsessively do something in an unusual manner, that generally indicates an O.C.D.

you know me i just think too much :(
