What does xxx REALLY mean?
I have often wondered why so many chatters put xxx after their replies. What does it really stand for? I have had this conversation with a few chatters, and this is what I have been told.
Chatter One said, to her, “XXX” is something she had seen in ads for X-rated porn shops.
Chatter Two said, If they are to mean kisses, do these people go around kissing people like this in their everyday life?
Chatter Three said, he found them to be insincere, and nothing but fluff.
Chatter Four said, he is pretty sure they mean kisses, but he wouldn’t want to be kissed by that many people he didn’t really know.
Chatter Five said, Bring on those xxx, the more the Merrier.
I am still wondering…..I wonder what you all think about the many xxx’s that seem to be given out like candy? Maybe we have a site full of happy kissers! ๐
I actually thought it meant a size of clothing. ๐
hahahahaha. Good one Pam!! I think you understood the tongue and cheek fun blog I wrote.. ๐
๐
Passy read my blog on why i throw kisess (xxx) something av done for al ong time 21 yrs in fact online my blog explains it all
In Australia there’s a xxx beer …which I don’t mind to xx ( kiss) from time to time . ๐
Good one nmod!! I knew I liked your sense of humour! ๐
lol
Passy, I have to be honest with you. The meaning of the xxx’s that some people put in their posts and messages is not something I have spent a lot of time pondering. To be more correct, I don’t think it has ever even crossed my mind. But since you posed the question, I will attempt an answer. To Chatter One I say, you have obviously been to more X-rated porn shops than I have. LOL To Chatter Two I say, this is the explaination that comes to mind now that I do give it some thought. In everyday life, I would not like all these people kissing me uninvited, but since it is a cyber-kiss…..pucker up and enjoy. To Chatter Three I say, lighten up. As I said before it is just a cyber-kiss and so if it makes them feel better, have at it! LOL To Chatter Four, see the response to Chatter Two. To Chatter five, I like your attitude….haha. After all, this is a friendship site and we really aren’t swapping germs with anyone are we? So all you chatters out there, feel free to XXX me whenever you want. Life is good.
great post Merryjay, I agree with you 100%
Thank you beatrice. This really wasn’t a serious blog. It was just to some fun. ๐
Thank you Merry . I am glad you too could have some fun with this. Thanks for the chuckle. ๐
I always assume the best… I assume it means they care & are showing that. But I can tell you this, if I used it meaning to show love and someone questioned my intention I would find it hurtful. Everyone has different ways of showing care and signing off — another unique (and, I believe, pretty cool) thing about this site. xo – that’s a kiss and hug from me – in a cyber way naturally but I use it once I have corresponded w/ someone a few times, feel a rapport and have come to care about them. Never occurred to me that they’d question it or be offended in anyway. Maybe I should rethink that…
Agree with you Millie , I have learnt over the many years that you get questioned on anything and everything you type on here. Like you I thought it was a friendly nice thing to do. You give up writing blogs or commenting on blogs or groups as there is always someone trying to study my reasoning for what I have said . The day I start to study why one chatter or another signs off is the day I will realize I got no life and cut my own throat lol xxx
Gosh GJ, this was not to be taken sooooo seriously…..lol
Well I dont take porn as a joke so just took it as a serious blog. I apologise for taking your blog seriously.
I too, Grams, thought it to be a serious blog. Wasn’t sure Passy, sorry. I have always and will always take it as a sign of caring for one another; and sometimes a sign of affection – not a romantic affection, just the affection and love I have for my closest chatter friends They know who they are. I have taken many breaks from chat because people have questions why I said something. I prefer to be myself, and want everybody to be themselves as well. I love all you up front, honest, silly, sassy, querky chatters! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX lol
Thanks Helen. I think I need to work on my sense of humor ( or is it humour ? ) ๐
I know we all don’t have the same kind of humor. I suppose this is what gets us in trouble. hahahaha
I am glad you love everyone up front….but do you still us from behind?? hahahaha ๐
Millie, don’t rethink too hard. hahahahah ๐
*shakes head*…no never rethink what YOU feel is right for YOU!!!…
~don’t be a sheeple,I’m not!!
xx
don’t worry debz, that’s not something anyone has ever or will ever be able to call me… i was making a point. ๐
I didn’t think you were for one second…….I get where your coming from…..it was said a little tongue in cheek ๐
I’m pretty sure I like you, Debz ๐
What is a sheeple, pray tell?
I never take it to mean something beyond the xxx….s lol
well said beatrice…. ๐
my cyber xxxxx,s gj, are the same as my 2 cheek xxxxx,s i give to everyone i know, sincere, loving and for those who dont, like xxxxx,s cyber or otherwise you dont know what your missing . ha ha ha xxxx,s
Love it lani ! xxxxxxxx
hahahahaha, Love it too lani!! ๐
I think signing of with xxx is similar to people choosing to have or not to have a profile picture, it is their right to choose to be themselves and what they are comfortable with xxx
Not exactly sure what you mean there Skip…..but thank you anyway….hahahaha ๐
People analyse to much !!!!! take it for what it is…….. a light hearted farewell. xxxxx
Nicely said, star!! Thanks ๐
a way of greeting, or a goodbye cya later…
x = one side of the cheek = mwah…………..turn to the other side of the cheek x = mwah……
the same as a smile ๐ or a ;-)…..at the end of a post…..
^^^^ which is the way I, family and my friends all greet each other…much better than a :-/
just saying..
xx
~ ok I’d like to also say I don’t understand the (going off topic here)
and sometimes the….
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. and ???????????????.I always find that a tad…..now thinking of the right word…….oh well is it that people are “angry” or “frustrated” by using multiple punctuation marks, shhesh just niggly stuff, and again tongue in cheek.

Deb, you have me pondering this now hahahaha I am glad you are back to cause some trouble! xxx ๐
Give Passy a break, for goodness’ sake! She has an inquiring mind! INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW (that’s the slogan for a gossip tabloid here in N America, for those of you who don’t know)
And by the way, I don’t hand out xxx indiscriminately. I xoxoxo those I know and like and I xxx those I really know and like and smother them with xxxxxxxxxx if I really really know and like them!!
Thank you Wanda. ๐
I only give them out to the ladies i know need them…haaaaaaa

back atcha mwah xoxoxoxox mwah

i find the telling all and everybody “i love you” or “luv ya” etc. etc. to be devaluing the true meaning of loving somebody..would i go up to a stranger and say “i love you”?..of course not..so if you tell me you love me don’t be hurt if i ignore it or just say i like you..whenever i say “i love you” i really mean it,tho..
I know what you are saying Kat. For some it is more a reality of what it means . Thank you for your input. ๐
A cyber kiss xxx he he he. Only give xxx when I leave so peeps can dream of my xxx.
hahahahah Cinta, Love it!!
Good one Cinta. And Kat, I believed you lol I will continue to use my sentiment of xxx kisses for the people I care about and xxxx for the sh*t stirrers but it will mean two different things. One will mean I care and the other will mean kiss my ass lol just wanted to clarify hahahaha
Thank you for giving us the code, GJ, we will be keeping watch. hahahahaha ๐
haha Passy, but how will you know lol Maybe if I put xxx 1 or xxx 2 or something lol
ooooooo GJ, you are a tricky one! hahahahaha
Haha, are we still addressing the ‘xxx’ issue? Laughing so hard that I peed. Wondering if sweet Skippy is tolerating our silliness.
xxx and I’m wearing a mask; I may have germs. ๐
I am thrilled to see so many with a great sense of humor. ๐
Absolutely Pam, there is nothing like humor( humour)! ๐ xxxxxxxxxxx !!!!!!!!
Okay for me once I thought about the xxx that i get from some chatters is like being given a warm smile…and can there ever be too many of those?..so I have on occasion given the same in return..xxx
Love ’em in any form they come in.
lolo, It seems you are in the majority here.. ๐ I hope you get many!!! ๐
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
