data-mm-id=”_jpijaobrj”>Twitter has undergone one of the dumber rebrandings in history as Elon Musk insists that the social media company is now called "X," which is the same thing he's been trying to name everything he's been involved with for more than two decades. Anyway, everyone hates it and no one is going to call it that. Partly because we've all had Twitter in our lives for more than a decade and partly because there are a lot of other things that we've associated with X. PornographyX-rated films have been around since 1968 when Brian De Palma's Greetings earned the first X (later changed to an R). If you don't know that trivia answer, you might be more familiar with Ti West's X starring Mia Goth. That's a movie about people making a porno. XXX is also the universal sign for adult films. Anyone Named XavierAnyone named Xavier is either known as X-Man or X. From current Memphis Grizzlies player Xavier Tillman Sr. to retired player Xavier McDaniel who said something X-rated in his cameo in the Gen X comedy Singles. Charles Xavier, better known as Professor X, even started a school for gifted children in Westchester. Those students become X-Men. Xavier University has an X logo and a giant X on their basketball court. Illinois v Xavier / Mitchell Layton/GettyImagesExesElong Musk has been divorced three times from two different women. His latest ex-girlfriend, Grimes, is still active on Twitter. When discussing any of these people, he would call them an ex. DMXRIP Earl Simmons. Dark Man X, or simply X, will give it to ya. MDMAThe popular club drug is commonly known as ecstacy, which is then shortened to E or X. xXxThe 2002 Vin Diesel movie has inspired two sequels and another may be in the works with Diesel reprising the role of Xander Cage. Oh yeah, anybody named Xander is probably also called X. Two time World Series champion Xander Bogaerts for example.Pirate TreasureX marks the spot. Even if Dr. Jones says it never, ever marks the spot, it often does in popular culture. Math and Sports and Pop CultureX is generally used to tell you to multiple. Or by coaches to draw up plays using X's and O's. Or by Dez Bryant to celebrate a touchdown. New Orleans Saints v Dallas Cowboys / Tom Pennington/GettyImagesIt's also the Roman numberal ten, which you may have noticed if you saw Fast X or Jason X or Saw X. Not that an X in the title means its the tenth film in a series. You've got the the X-Files and Project X and American History X.Crotch ChopsInviting someone to "suck it" by crossing your arms in front of your bathing suit area has been in popular culture since D-Generation X started doing it in the late 90's. While there are different variations on the move, its association with DX lives on. WWE Monday Night Raw In Las Vegas / Ethan Miller/GettyImagesClose TabX is the universal symbol for closing a window or tab or app or anything computer related. It translates from iOS to Windows and everything in between in every language. And you can do it now if you really need to. Thanks for stopping by!

Market: Villarreal to beat Real Sociedad

La Liga returns for another massive round of games as the competition continues to heat up. The table has remained incredibly tight with a single victory often able to see a side rise a number of places, and with this in mind, Villarreal host Real Sociedad on Saturday.

The Lions had expressed their interest in the 21-year-old footballer few months ago and they seem to have finally secured his signature.

In a real early-season relegation six-pointer on Friday night, Real Valladolid vs Osasuna will take place at the Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla.
Starting with the hosts, while Real Valladolid might have managed to find a real bounce thanks to back-to-back victories against Granada and Athletic Bilbao either side of November s international break, they still find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. While they might have managed to put on a rugged display last time out against Champions League outfit Atletico Madrid last weekend, they did ship two late goals and suffered a 2-0 defeat in the capital. Knowing that three points on Friday night would see them leapfrog their guests and claw a route out of the drop zone…
