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

   over-engineered and incredibly over-complicated window system
   developed at MIT and widely used on Unix systems.

   XXX /X-X-X/ n.   A marker that attention is needed.   Commonly

   need to be.   Some hackers liken `XXX' to the notional heavy-porn
   movie rating.   Compare {FIXME}.
