“…she shared on Xitter…”

OMG, it took me a second to figure it out, but this is the perfect new name for the service. Just brilliant and hilarious.




If the Chinese name Xi is pronounced like English "she", does Xitter get pronounced "shitter" ?



I know it's meant to be a joke but I can't help but be a little pedantic: Xi is pronounced more like "see" -- "she" would more like xü


Sitter then? Thanks for clarifying, of course.


Portuguese too!


That’s how I read in my mind.


"Tweets" are now called "Xcretions".


you can just call them Xits

musk brought this on himself with the smiling poop emoji responses to press requests, what are we supposed to think?


It rhymes with pockmarks on teenagers.
