literally just a symbol used to represent crossed-out, ignored, irrelevant, or even like 'undefined' or 'uncategorized', but... in the spirit of OP, to pick one word... got a real winner for ya, I think:

Xenial

Adjective: hospitable, particularly relating to host & guest, or being warmly-welcoming and generous/kind.
Originates from the Greek word xenia (hospitality/rights of a guest).

Xylophone. Which is why “Xennial” is pronounced “zennial” instead of “X ennial”.

[-]

Old_Bens_Hut@reddit (OP)

But then you confuse my Zennial kids....

SeaSkimmer2@reddit

They’re not Zennials, they’re Zoomers.

Old_Bens_Hut@reddit (OP)

Really? Cus they are 01 and 02 babbies... so not totally zoomer? I dunno all these newfangled terms

[-]

SeaSkimmer2@reddit

Yep, Gen Z 1997-2012, or “Zoomer”.

I've always said it as "ex ennial" since it's a portmanteau referencing Gen X. Petition to change the spelling to X-ennial

[-]

Gian_Luck_Pickerd@reddit

This is the way

[-]

SeaSkimmer2@reddit

Denied. 😄

It’s just another quirk of the English language that they failed to teach us in grammar studies.

Go forth and be “zennial”. 😉

I worked at a restaurant where we had a kid named Alexis, so everybody called him tex (I'll let you figure it why) and one of the main things he did was back up stains and do gopher work, and people would rely on him too much, and make him grab their did because they didn't stock their own stations... Anyway, it became a running joke like, don't worry, yes will grab it for you, until that(quickly) became "Tex gonna give it to ya, what, you couldn't get it on your own? Tex gonna deliver it to ya"

Shortened from generation Next. Then Shortened to xennial.

[-]

Dr_Bumfluff_Esq@reddit

The X stands for "Xennials", so the expression expands to "Xennialsennials", which can be further expanded to "Xennialsennialsennials", and so on ad infinitum.

Specialist-Leek8645@reddit

Damn, I thought there'd be a couple good ones here. It's true, everything had an X in it for us. I was satisfied for the X to be Gen-X, but yeah maybe it's even more appropriate. Like the companies thought we'd appreciate more English words starting w X since they always felt bad teaching us the alphabet having to use either xylophone or x-ray which only taught us that X isn't a real letter. And now it's a symbol for us. X marks the spot. Ground Zero lol.

I was a big X-Men fan.

Xaggerated internet use for our age group by the few xennials who used internet in the mid-nineties and say “everyone had internet in 1995” when most people didn’t. I had a very average household and we don’t have Internet in the house till 1999 or 2000.
