What the heck does X stand for?? Hmmmm, There just isn't much that comes to mind except the letter X in the game of Scrabble. It is a letter that I'm always happy to draw because it's worth 8 points and that 8 points can really add up when used in combination with one of its two letter words.
Two letter X words include:
XI - The 14th letter of the Greek alphabet
XU - A coin formerly minted by South Vietnam equivalent to the cent
OX - An adult castrated bull of the genus Bos
AX - an edge tool with a heavy bladed head mounted across a handle
EX - The 24th letter of the Roman alphabet
The other things that came to mind for X were:
1. X marks the spot, as in right here
2. X-mark, as in signature
3. X-factor, as in what is the X-factor that sparks your creativity? My X-factor according my other half is to selling enough of my jewelry to buy him a big screen TV... HA! ☺
May you always BEAD happy! ~Cova
Interesting Xs, thanks.

Thanks Me!
DeleteDidn't know about the coin. I used x-factor for my x post. The last few letters of the alphabet do pose a challenge.
