由cross -> X想到的，X可以是很多词的缩写。
比如X Games的"X"，竟然是"extreme"！

还想到了一些：
Christmas -> XMas
experience -> XP
XG的X -> extraordinary（是真的我没编）
当代网络语用也会把facts缩写成fax
transmit -> tx
receive -> rx
tickets -> tix
user experience -> UX

在stackoverflow里找到一篇好文：把很多东西缩写成x的语用习惯竟然是受到了电报传输的限制和影响。请读。

总结出来的规律大概是ex开头的单词都可以缩成x，结尾发/ks/音的单词也可以缩成x，我们不想说清楚话的一生。
