X Marks the Spot is a 1931 American pre-Code crime drama film, directed by Erle C. Kenton and released by Tiffany Pictures, which operated from 1921 to 1932.
Ex Girlfriend was an American girl group whose line-up comprised Monica Boyd, Julia Robertson, Stacy Francis, and Tisha Hunter.
 Formed in 1989 in Brooklyn, New York by new jack swing group Full Force, the members adopted the surname "X" as part of their dynamic.
 They were signed to Reprise Records in 1990.
 Ex Girlfriend was launched into mainstream recognition following the 1991 release of their debut album, "X Marks the Spot", which contained the singles "Why Can't You Come Home" and "You (You're the One for Me)".
 Following the release of their second album "It's a Woman Thang", the group disbanded in 1994.
 In 2008, the group briefly reformed.
X Marks the Pedwalk (sometimes written as X-Marks the Pedwalk) is a German band whose styles range from post-industrial dance to electronic body music.

An x mark (also known as a cross, x, ex, exmark or into mark) is a mark (x, ×, X, ✕, ☓, ✖, ✗, ✘, etc.) used to indicate the concept of negation (for example "no, this has not been verified" or "no, I don't agree") as well as an indicator (for example in election ballot papers or in x marks the spot).
 Its opposite is often considered to be the check mark or tick (or the O mark used in Japan, Korea and Taiwan).
 In Japanese, the X mark (×) is called "batsu" (ばつ) and can be expressed by someone by crossing their arms.
