xoxo

means hugs and kisses

but have you ever wondered why? apparently the reason behind it is that when you hug someone, your arms cross to form an ‘x’ shape on their back. and when you kiss, you pout and your mouth forms an ‘o’. cool, right?

  2. right right?? i always thought it was the other way round too! but this totally makes sense hehe

  3. well, if you cross your arms on someone’s back, kiss – the second person will be mirrored – so the topic should be xoox ;)
