Xitter ! love it, now lexicon

Usage: Can’t wait to watch Xitter (pronounced Zit - ter) pop after Musk wrecks the train.

My very limited exposure to Chinese makes me read it as shitter

Fair enough, but I'll go with mine anyway.

IIRC the letter X in Portuguese is also pronounced as "schiss". So Xitter makes a lot of sense to me.

My exposure to English gives xylophone, xenon, xerox, xenograft. Sounds like Z at the start of a word.

I get you like it to be shit, which takes ages to decompose. I'd rather it pop like a zit and be gone, and with the current trajetory, that would not surprise.
