X is for Xactly When is this Challenge Over?




Don't get me wrong.  The A-Z Challenge has been an amazing test of my (and Roger's) patience, humor, and resolve.  And, It's been a great opportunity to meet many, many new and wonderful people.   But truth be told, I'm exhausted!  Those of you who have also gone on this ride know what I mean.


With two more days to go, I'm not about to say 'uncle'.  Therefore, in honor of X-Day, I'm throwing these suckers up against the wall.  Let's see what sticks....
---------------------------------------
Xanexcellent
    [Zan-ex-sel-ent]
Noun
1.  The feeling after taking a Xanax (or any other anti-anxiety medication).
Sheila waited to tell Doug about wrecking his car until he took his medication because his response would be far more Xanexcellent afterward than before.


Xsavior
    [X-sav-yer]
Noun
1.    Jesus, to a recently declared atheist.
Doug had recently gone from agnostic to completely giving up on religion, so when Sheila's uncle asked him what denomination he was, he could say nothing but that he only had an Xsavior, not a current one.


Xanadues
    [Zan-a-duez]
Noun
1.    The money you earn and save in order to retire in the place of your dreams.
Although she hated the 80 hour work weeks, Sheila knew that she wouldn't be able to count on Doug to pay his Xanadues for their early retirement.

XSox
    [X-socks]
Noun
1.   The official footwear of avid gamers.
Sheila had gotten used to the nastiness of Doug's laundry, but even the dog was taken aback by the stench of the lucky XSox he'd worn at the Gaming Convention all week.

      Hope I can live up to your expectations after the Challenge, Six! Might need to take a little break first!
