Happy "being invisible when things work perfectly, and being screamed at when things go wrong" day, everyone!

"X": Its name in English is "ex" (pronounced /ˈɛks/), plural exes.

"Ex- is the most common form of this prefix. For instance, when you exit a building, you go “out” of it."

"When you eject someone from a game for being obnoxious, you throw him “out.” When someone emigrates, he moves “out” of one country to live in another. And when you eradicate something? You tear it “out” by its root to get rid of it completely."

What a lovely description of Birdshite.

Urban Dictionary: Ex

A former lover, who then becomes a friend or Satan. So many feelings from the word Ex, but there is no one way to define it. They wasted your time. They messed you up mentally/emotionally like NOBODY ELSE. Worse than the bully. They left a deep, deep wound within you, you were empty and hopeless without them for so long, and though wounds heal, the scars will always show... You went through a lot because of this one person, in / after the relationship. And you realise already, or later, that they really are an UGLY piece of shit and a BIG regret. The people you love to hate, like Justin Bieber,.
