I never knew you can just omit such key words.

I got all of that except “shag ye x,” because it sounds like “shah (fuck) you x,” where “x” is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, “I’m trying to shag you, love?” or “Fuck your ex,” as in, the lady person you broke up with?
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
“x” is a kiss, used as an informal “yours truly” in British English digital correspondence
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wait, I thought ‘x’ was hug and ‘o’ was kiss. Have I been wrong all these years??
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like “xoxo” type of thing.
ZeroTHM@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.
