XOXO

“Recycle kisses, hugs and smiles, they never go out of style and everybody needs one.” -Crystal DeLarm Clymer

X is for XOXO

The “word” XOXO is not an emotion but it brings about an abundance of emotions into play such as love, affection, and sympathy. And since I really did not like the few X emotions that I could think of (I am fussy when it comes to what I write about) I decided to choose XOXO as my X blog post.

As most of us already know XOXO means hugs and kisses. There are a few explanations as to how these letters came to be symbols for the words hugs and kisses. One explanation is that two mouths kissing make the letter X. And two sets of arms around each other make the letter O. XOXO can be found written on greeting cards, handwritten letters, and even email. This term can be used to express love, friendship, appreciation, and thanks. Other abbreviations of hugs and kisses are H&K, HAK, and HNK.

Synonym of hug – squeeze
Antonym of hug – push

Synonym of kiss – smooch
Antonym of kiss – (couldn’t find any)

Also known as Ms57Classic I came into this world on a summer morning on July 22, 1957. Newborn babies usually do not cry real tears at birth because their tear ducts have not formed yet. But I cried real tears! I have been through many things in my life and have dealt with a multitude of situations and emotions. I have been married and divorced twice. I am an ex-navy wife. I am a mom, a Grammie of 8 (so far), a sister, an aunt, and a friend of longevity. I have a son and a son-in-law in the US Navy and am very proud of their job decision and their accomplishments. My job as a mother is FOREVER. It will not stop when a child of mine reaches the age of 18! I have always been well liked, but not liked by all. I can stretch a dollar like it’s a rubber band. I like the person I am. I graduated from a writing school. I am in the process of writing a book. I graduated from University of Phoenix at the age of 56 with an associate’s degree in Art. I am disabled, having a multitude of health issues. I had a corneal transplant and since then have become an advocate for organ and tissue donation. One of my hobbies is finding those who share the exact birthday as me – July 22, 1957. There is much more ABOUT ME but I guess you will have to follow my blog if you’d like to find these things out : )

  4. I wonder if “spit” might be something of an antonym for “kiss,” both emotionally and physiologically?
