I Know That XOXO Means Hugs and Kisses, but Which One Is the Hug and Which Is the Kiss?
Jooh asked:
My friends and I got in yet another meaningless argument about this earlier this week. We even asked some of the teachers. No one seemed to know for sure.

For some reason, it just seems better for the X to be the kiss and the O to be the hug, but a few of my friends argued that the opposite made more sense. What do you think?

x is the kiss
o is the hug
X is kiss and O is hug. Or, like in Nacho Libre, o is little hug and x is little kiss. Lol.
X is the kiss. It mimics the wrinkles the lips make. And O is the hug. It mimics the circle the arms make.
The circle is the hug – like your arms around someone.
The x is the kiss – like cartoon lips puckering
x is the kiss.
example) I luv you. xxx
o is the hug
example) Oh! (as in o for a hug)
I’ve always thought the X was the kiss (imagine two profiles making contact at the mouth) and the O, a big circle, was the hug.
