X marks the spot.
Hmm. X is another tricky one. Some words SOUND like X – excited, exactly excised – but that sneaky E nabs them. Unfair! Problematical!
And lots of other apparent X words are just abbreviations, like X-ray, Xmas, and X-Over. Cheating.
There's X-Rated…but we're a family blog here.
So.
X is for…Xanadu!
An idyllic, exotic place of great luxury.
[After Xanadu, a place in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem titled Kubla Khan.]
Works for me. After this April, I'm ready for several trips to Xanadu.
Just going to pass on that whole Olivia Newton-John angle, thanks.
