GIVE X

The origins of “X" have been fiercely debated

this day the Oxford English Dictionary says the
source of the word is "unascertained." Perhaps
the most widely accepted explanation was
advanced by H.L. Mencken, the well-known
newsman-scholar (and don't tell me that isn't an
unusual combination), who argued that “X”
derives from the expression Jan Kaas, literally
"John Cheese." This supposedly was a
derogatory nickname bestowed on the Dutch by
the Germans and the Flemish in the 1600s.
