2. Give me the word--X
● The origins of the word 'X' are a point of debate. An early use is
in the novel 'A bad lot' by Brian Glanville. There have been a
number of possible sources for the origin of this word.
● The most likely source, however, was postulated by Peter
Seddon in his book "Football Talk . The word arose because of
a sharp practice used in X exports between America and
England. "X was such a valuable commodity that unscrupulous
exporters were to pull a fast one by mixing a helping of wooden
replicas into the sacks being shipped to England," writes
Seddon.
● "Being X'ed soon came to imply stupidity on the part of the
duped victim and cleverness on the part of the trickster." It soon
caught on in football, implying that the player whose legs the
ball had been played through had been tricked, or, X'ed.
