X fire, but in my defense I was eleven
Let them know I'm taking that for my new band name.
I remember in Paper Mario: TTYD one of the late game tattle entries on a X-naut enemy clarifies that its pronounced "cross"-nauts. This game had me mispronouncing the villain team's name the entire time until the end.
Hence the cross button on PS controllers.
X usually stands for cross. Some road sign will say train xing or deer xing
Sometimes X is also used to abbreviate Crossmas.
Christfire would've gone hard.
More recently X also represents a heap of shit.
English is my 2nd language, so I always read it as "X" Fire. That;s funny, I never though about it.
