If you remember back to your birthday cards as a kid when your loved ones put XOXO in the card... X is kisses.

So Xing is pronounced Kissing!

The X isn't kisses. The X stand for closes eyes and the O is an open mouth, hence XO = kiss emote and XOXO is the plural

Doesn't "XOXO" mean "hugs and kisses"? The X represents a kiss and the O represents a hug.

That was always my understanding of it.
