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! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  1. 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.

  2. 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…

    1. 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

          1. 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

          2. Thanks Helen. I think I need to work on my sense of humor ( or is it humour ? ) ๐Ÿ˜‰
            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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

  4. 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……

    Joe King!!!..aka debz

    I’m going to get in trouble here real soon……….>>> oft I jolly well dash…

  8. 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!!

  9. They are like air kisses on both sides of the face when you say hello and good-bye. You never touch! Touching is not allowed. Nooooooo nooooo touching. Hahahahahaha.

  11. 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..

  12. 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

  13. 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
