Actually, MONKEY GIRL is wrong. X stands for kisses and O stands for hugs.
One theory holds that the X stands for a kiss because it originally
represented a highly stylized picture of two mouths touching -- X.
Furthermore, in early times illiterates often signed documents with a St. Andrew's cross of X and kissed that X to show their good faith (as they did with any cross or the Bible, which reinforced the association). But these explanations may be folk etymology, as may the story that mathematically the X is a 'multiplier' -- in this case of love and delight.

My daughter (7) says the X is for hugs because it's the arms that reach out & hug you tight & O is for kisses cos it's the shape your mouth makes. I dunno - she's really quite bright, so she could be right on this one!!! Besides, I type xoxoxo & the expression is "hugs & kisses" so the X is first & Hugs is first, so does that mean X = hugs?! lol
