X formerly Twitter

Do you know why news articles keep saying "𝙓, 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙏𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧" instead of just X, even though everybody already knows its name change by now? I'll tell you why, because it's just one damn letter! Semantically, X could be anything given this is literally its meaning in both math and linguistics. It's so utterly vague that journalists have to mention twitter just in case any lesser-informed individuals get confused. What was the elongated muskrat even thinking?

Also, whoever is botting tens of thousands of dislikes to the newest "X" definitions needs to get a life lmao.

BBC news: in a statement posted to X formerly Twitter, it said the protest was part of efforts to integrate food into the general social security system.

Sullivan claimed it and declared ownership on Monday, November 11, 2019. It is mostly unusable, and will not be weaponized per the Antarctic Treaty. Trevor plans to make it an open area to OHVers and explorers.

-exhilaration that some particular evil is now a former evil
-great happiness elicited by the use of the word former in the above situation

The wait for January 20th was full of optimism, but not without apprehension. It’s finally over, and the formerlation I feel every time I hear or read “former POTUS” renews my hope that we will heal.

great happiness felt when something that never should have been is preceded by the word former

The wait for January 20th was full of optimism tainted by apprehension. Now that the pivotal day has come and gone, I am filled with formerlation every time I encounter the phrase “former POTUS.”

Twitter formely knows as X

A saying to mock jouranlists and newspaper reminding that "X is formely known as Twitter" in reports about X/Twitter. Defined by YouTube shitposter and YouTuber BlindHawk aka Novel Room.

Also, it mocks the name "X" because it was so bad that it immediately died as it launched with it.
