So, imagine my surprise, when, thanks to some lovely ladies in whose company I delightfully found myself last night, I realized that I had TOTALLY missed the boat on something hot.
I was totally schooled. And like, seriously, this was remedial shit, apparently.
Did you know – did you KNOW – that nobody signs off with ‘xo’ anymore?
Dude, it’s just ‘x’ now.
x – small x.
No pussy ‘o’ holding x’s hand, definitely no lame-ass ‘xoxo’ and – trust me on this one, folks – absofuckinglutely not a (((HUGS))).
(((GETTHEFUCKOUT)))
My goddamn standard sign-off has been a sincere, ‘xok’ forever, and I’m only NOW discovering that I make myself look like your granny has been responding to all of your emails?
Seriously, do you know how crushed I am to learn that, in the trendmaking world of blog-comment sign-off, I am about as cool as
That’s it. From now on, it’s xk.
xk.
That’s kisses to you, motherhuggers.

19 talk to me:

right back at ya ;
is winking still cool?
These hips mean that I'm a hipster right? x
I thought that was uncool for YEARS.. at least in Europe. My grandmother used to sign her letters with xxxooo... like 15 years ago!
But you're right, now it's x here too. It used to be xxx as Dutch always give 3 kisses. Now, xxx means something else I guess :)
Nadine - I like xxx waaaaaay better.
Hey! I could use xk, too!
heh heh
xoxox
F*ck that sh*t. I don't know how you TO ladies do it, but down here we still sign off w/ xo.
Because hugs are important, dammit.
xo
it's just x? i/m with chicky. i thought it was xo.
however, we could totally bag the trend. just go o.
see.
o
now even MORE PISSED OFF that I missed book club.
I loved the book. It made me love you more that you loved it. I got to go to the other (old lady) book club tonight and both my friends want to read it.
x
I prefer hugs to kisses and who doesn't want an O, really? o ooo oooo
omg, Mad - you are totally right. Why, oh why would a woman EVER deny themselves an 'o?' That's it; I'm keeping O - and mine's going caps.
Style be damned. I am xoA and it will stay that way. Lately, I've been xoxoA, but then, I LOVE Gossip Girl. No, I mean I really love it. I want to marry it.
O
I still fondly remember when you and I shifted from a more formal email sign off to xok & xoS, and I knew we'd taken an important step in our blossoming friendship. Sigh.
I think I'm going to have to hang on to it, too. Give it a year and it will be retro-cool.
Or if you are cool like GGC, she signs off "kisses on your cheeks" - so yah, x() maybe? or x()x ?
Or if you're being rude, how about this one: ..|..
I missed the book club meeting and lessons in e-mail etiquette?
Sucks to be me!
But xo rhymes with HALEY-O! I sign off all my blog posts like that! EEK. I'm in trouble. Or, do I dare to be remain UNTRENDY? I guess I could always do OO Haley-O. I don't even like "Haley-O" anymore, anyway. Maybe should just cut it all down to x Haley.... Will have to blog about this.... Hang tight everyone! ;) Heh.
yeah well.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I think xo is still in...after all Gossip Girl still uses it!
