"Did you see my twaddle on X?" I really can't think of any context where this works as a good brand for social media. Sure you can force anything, but this is going to take some effort.

@shoq I can’t imagine “X users have thoughts” in a post

@shoq So what verb would one use for “X”? Xed? So and so xed this thing…

Did he just wake up from a bad bong hit and decide this or did he actually use his brain cell?

I think I’ll go with “xeeted”

I also just remember that in romance languages the X is pronounced as a CH (think of the Basque pinxtos), so the “xeeted” would be pronounced “cheated”

Something poetic about that..

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Johnny Rotten's question is still relevant.
