What is derogatory about Xbone?

It's offensive to dogs.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

X1 ofcourse since the console with the shortest abbreviation always wins :).



I just use "X1" as it's both short and pertinent ...

Xbone: Seems to have stuck as the official abbreviation, but I don't like it because it's derogatory and offends people

XBOne: Long and hasn't caught on


Lol, what?

 

I use X1. Usually just type Xbox One though.

I read Xbone as X-bone, and I read XBOne as XB-One.  I've seen both used enough that I thought I would include both varients.  The cap placement make the difference for me.  That being said English is my second language, so I may not be reading it properly or picking up on the difference/lack of difference as a native speaker would.



XB1 or XBO.

"Xbone" offends people? Yeesh.

I tend to use XBO.



Xbone ftw



XO = Xignificant Other

I had in mind to refer to the console as the Xbone, but I don't want to get banned out of nowhere. So I just call it X1.

It's actually not against the forum rules.

(I think one or two mentioned they won't read your posts though!)

Still amazed that nobody picked this up internally prior to release. I always wonder with trends like this, who was the very first person to put two and two together.

Although, parents call their kids Annette Curtain or Joe King, so seeing a (often obvious when pointed out) connection between words is ofttimes not easy.



 

A thread like this was made months back and no one agreed on what to call it then either. X1 and "the bone" is what I will continue to call it. The bone works as a great phallic reference to go along with me calling my 360 the sexbox.
