Forums - Microsoft - Should I just embrace the term ‘Xbone?’

Yes you should.

The people have already made up their mind.

just accept it as it'll never stop

I read it as X-bone as well and I haven't seen anyone write Xboner yet

If you guys didn't have your mind in the gutter and automatically associated 'bone' in Xbone with 'boner' or 'boning', I'm sure you'd find the name much more pleasant.

Why can't 'bone' just stand for an ordinary bone? Like this:

if you like it big and black... get xboned!


If M$ ever decides to sell them in sex shops, that there is the line that should be pitched again and again over Twitter till they accept!

It's like that kid in grade school with that funny name that unfortunately associates well with a negative word. Is it cruel? Yes. Can we stop it? Unless Microsoft changes the name, no.

It's the internet! That's why! I actually expect it just to eventually fade out into just Xbox or X1.

I guess if you didn't recognize the bone I've shown you didn't get the joke. ;)

So you did come back.

I still read it as xbone as in ex-bone.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Its like when wii came out. Not really a huge deal, its just a very easy way to write it that just happens to sound like a third grade penis joke.
I mean, we could just as easily called it the xo, as in xoxo or hug kiss hug kiss.
The main problem is that everything is innuendo. That's just a feature of the english language.
