From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: | |
X \X\ ([ecr]ks). X, the twenty-fourth letter of the English alphabet, has three sounds; a compound nonvocal sound (that of ks), as in wax; a compound vocal sound (that of gz), as in example; and, at the beginning of a word, a simple vocal sound (that of z), as in xanthic. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 217, 270, 271. Note: The form and value of X are from the Latin X, which is from the Greek [CHI], which in some Greek alphabets had the value of ks, though in the one now in common use it represents an aspirated sound of k. | |
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
X /X/ n. 1. Used in various speech and writing contexts (also in lowercase) in roughly its algebraic sense of `unknown within a set defined by context' (compare {N}). Thus, the abbreviation 680x0 stands for 68000, 68010, 68020, 68030, or 68040, and 80x86 stands for 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, 80586 or 80686 (note that a Unix hacker might write these as 680[0-6]0 and 80[1-6]86 or 680?0 and 80?86 respectively; see {glob}). 2. [after the name of an earlier window system called `W'] An over-sized, over-featured, over-engineered and incredibly over-complicated window system developed at MIT and widely used on Unix systems. | |
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
XXX /X-X-X/ n. A marker that attention is needed. Commonly used in program comments to indicate areas that are kluged up or need to be. Some hackers liken `XXX' to the notional heavy-porn movie rating. Compare {FIXME}. | |
