Question: why does xoxo stand for hugs and kisses?
Answer: Is it?!?! One alternate theory that has gained a little traction over the years, is that the above theories on the “X” and “O's” are all wrong and it is the X that means hugs, mimicking two people embracing, and the O that appears to be a mouth puckered for a kiss, hence why it's “hugs and kisses”.
