Hint 1
The columns are Greek or Roman Corinthian architecture.  One of those may be a clue.
Hint 2
It looks like quite a few words have one uncommon letter of the alphabet.  And the ones that don't have more than one occurrance of a different letter.  There's a third letter that also matters.
Solution
Extract the X's, V's and I's from the words and phrases to make Roman numerals. Then convert those numbers to letters of the alphabet:
 BIKINIS III 3 C
 EXOTOXIN XXI 21 U
 EXTRAVAGATING KIWIS XVIII 18 R
 EXERT SIX XIX 19 S
 XEROXING XXI 21 U
 EXPO SIXTY XIX 19 S
 POXVIRUS XVI 16 P
 EXOTOXINS XXI 21 U
 AIRSHIP II 2 B
 EXHIBIT XII 12 L
 JINX IX 9 I
 INFINITE III 3 C
 EXOTOXIN XXI 11 U
 EPOXY QUIXOTES XIX 19 S
