Why is this the first time I’m hearing X-it? That’s pretty good.

You probably haven’t heard “X-it” because everyone still calls it Twitter.

I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.

I call it X to piss off X users so they quit. Musk doesn’t read my posts.

As far as I’m concerned, Twitter is dead and X never even existed.

It took me 3 tries to realize she wasn’t saying “We took a moment to locate our nearest shit.”

I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.
