The earliest recorded use of the term 'X' is 1362 in The vision of William concerning Piers Plowman by William Langland and it is used to mean a small misshapen egg. It also appears in the Reeve's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer and the meaning is "a child tenderly brought up, an effeminate fellow, a milksop". By 1521 it was in use by country people as a derogatory reference for the effeminate town-dwellers. 'X' was used to describe those born within earshot of the Bow Bells in 1600, when Samuel Rowlands, in his satire The Letting of Humours Blood in the Head-Vaine, referred to 'a Bowe-bell 'X'. Francis Grose's A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue derives the term from the following story:

"A citizen of London, being in the country, and hearing a horse neigh, exclaimed, Lord! how that horse laughs! A by-stander telling him that noise was called Neighing, the next morning, when the cock crowed, the citizen to shew he had not forgot what was told him, cried out, Do you hear how the Cock Neighs?"

At a public meeting in _____ town hall on 26 March 1839, Captain Edmund Gardiner proposed "that from the lively interest which had been manifested at the various boat races which have taken place on the _____ reach during the last few years, and the great influx of visitors on such occasions, this meeting is of the opinion that the establishing of an annual regatta, under judicious and respectable management, would not only be productive of the most beneficial results to the town of _____, but from its peculiar attractions would also be a source of amusement and gratification to the neighbourhood, and the public in general."

The regatta was first staged in 1839 on the river Thames and proved so successful that it was expanded the next year from one day to two the next year. As the regatta's popularity has grown it has further expanded: to three days in 1886, four days in 1906 and five days in 1986. The regatta has been known as 'X' since 1851, when Prince Albert became a patron. Since his death, every reigning monarch has agreed to be the patron.

'X' is a simplified language that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups that do not have a language in common. It is most commonly employed in situations such as trade, or where both groups speak languages different from the language of the country in which they reside (but where there is no common language between the groups). Fundamentally, 'X' is a simplified means of linguistic communication, as it is constructed impromptu, or by convention, between groups of people. 'X' is not the native language of any speech community, but is instead learned as a second language. 'X' may be built from words, sounds, or body language from multiple other languages and cultures. 'X' usually have low prestige with respect to other languages. Not all simplified or "broken" forms of a language are 'X's. Each 'X' has its own norms of usage which must be learned for proficiency in the 'X'.

In theoretical physics, 'X' is a hypothetical universe with no global definition of charge. What a Klein bottle is to a closed two-dimensional surface, 'X' is to a closed three-dimensional volume. The name is a reference to a character in 'Y's book.

'X' can be considered to allow at least two topologically-distinct routes between any two points (it is doubly connected), and if one connection (or "handle") is declared to be a "conventional" spatial connection, at least one other must be deemed to be a non-orientable wormhole connection.

Once these two connections are made, we can no longer define whether a given particle is matter or antimatter. A particle might appear as an electron when viewed along one route, and as a positron when viewed along the other. If we define a reference charge as nominally positive and bring it alongside our "undefined charge" particle, the two particles may attract if brought together along one route, and repel if brought together along another - the 'X' loses the ability to distinguish between positive and negative charges, except locally.

'X' consists of a weighted aerofoil, a rectangular slat of wood about 15 cm (6 in) to 60 cm (24 in) long and about 1.25 cm (0.5 in) to 5 cm (2 in) wide, attached to a long cord. The cord is given a slight initial twist, and the ____ is then swung in a large circle in a horizontal plane. The aerodynamics of the ____ will keep it spinning about its axis even after the initial twist has unwound. The cord winds fully first in one direction and then the other. It makes a characteristic vibrato sound with notable modification from both Doppler effect and the changing speed of the ____ at different parts of its circuit. By modifying the expansiveness of its circuit and the speed given it, the modulation of the sound can be controlled, making the coding of information possible. The low frequency component of the sound travels extremely long distances, especially on the wind.

'X' itself is one of a series of fictional messiahs created by 'Y'. 'X' is described as a metal messiah sent to the world to destroy evil and rescue mankind from destruction. 'X' is believed to be inspired by the fallen angel from the Sad Wings of Destiny album cover that 'Y' recorded early in their musical years. The most noticeable feature of 'X', besides his metal body is that he 'rides the metal monster', a motorcycle with a dragon for the chassis and two circular saws for wheels.

A 1791 London publication explains the Mesmer’s theory of the vital fluid :

“Modern philosophy has admitted a plenum or universal principle of fluid matter, which occupies all space; and that as all bodies moving in the world, abound with pores, this fluid matter introduces itself through the interstices and returns backwards and forwards, flowing through one body by the currents which issue therefrom to another, as in a magnet, which produces that phenomenon which we call 'X'. This fluid consists of fire, air and spirit, and like all other fluids tends to an equilibrium, therefore it is easy to conceive how the efforts which the bodies make towards each other produce _____, which in fact is no more than the effect produced between two bodies, one of which has more motion than the other; a phenomenon serving to prove that the body which has most motion communicates it to the other, until the medium of motion becomes an equilibrium between the two bodies, and then this equality of motion produces _____.”

One of the first mentions of the automatic writing method used in the 'X' is found in China around 1100 BCE, in historical documents of the Song Dynasty. The method was known as fuji or "planchette writing". During the late 19th century, planchettes were widely sold as a novelty. The businessmen Elijah Bond and Charles Kennard had the idea to patent a planchette. The patentees filed on May 28, 1890 for patent protection and thus had invented the first 'X'. Issue date on the patent was February 10, 1891. 'X' is an egyptian word which means "good luck" but the more widely accepted etymology, is that the name came from a combination of the French and German words for "yes". 'X' is marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words 'yes' 'no' and 'goodbye', and sometimes other symbols and words are also added to help personalize 'X'.

'X' are a class of educational robots designed originally in the late 1940s (largely under the auspices of researcher William Grey Walter) and used in computer science and mechanical engineering training. These devices are traditionally built low to the ground with a roughly hemispheric (sometimes transparent) shell and a power train capable of a very small turning radius. The robots are often equipped with sensor devices which aid in avoiding obstacles and, if the robot is sufficiently sophisticated, allow it some perception of its environment. 'X' robots are commercially available and are common projects for robotics hobbyists. 'X' robots are closely associated with the work of Seymour Papert and are commonly used in 'Y' in computer education.

A core tenet of 'X's philosophy is that "minds are what brains do". The 'Y' theory views the human mind and any other naturally evolved cognitive systems as a vast society of individually simple processes known as agents. These processes are the fundamental thinking entities from which minds are built, and together produce the many abilities we attribute to minds. The great power in viewing a mind as a society of agents, as opposed to the consequence of some basic principle or some simple formal system, is that different agents can be based on different types of processes with different purposes, ways of representing knowledge, and methods for producing results.

'X', also known as fast leg theory, was a cricketing tactic devised by the English cricket team for their 1932–33 Ashes tour of Australia, specifically to combat the extraordinary batting skill of Australia's Don Bradman. A 'X' delivery was one where the cricket ball was pitched short so as to rise towards the body of the opposing batsman on the line of the leg stump, in the hope of creating legside deflections that could be caught by one of several fielders in the quadrant of the field behind square leg. This tactic was considered by many to be intimidatory and physically threatening. Although no serious injuries arose in the series from any short-pitched deliveries while a leg theory field was set, the tactic still led to considerable ill feeling between the two teams. Over the next two decades, several of the Laws of Cricket were changed to prevent this tactic being repeated.

'X' was launched in 1993 by Dr. Simon King, a British researcher at the University of Minnesota with help from students and researchers at universities around the world. It initially operated as a volunteer-based collective, and started life as a simple IRC bot. It was soon made available via Gopher as well, and with the advent of the Mosaic web browser in April 1993 became one of the earliest content web sites on the Internet. While a company, 'X' Ltd, was formed in 1996, 'X' remained essentially a volunteer run operation until late 1999 and was not fully staffed until late 2000. The site was entirely reliant on contributions from avid fans around the world who spent many hours compiling stats and contributing them to 'X's comprehensive archive. In 2006,'X's estimated worth was $150 million.

'X' is a computer Easter egg found in 'Y' and 'Z'. There is no real book entitled 'X'. However, apparent quotations hidden in 'Y' and 'Z' give this impression by revealing passages in the style of apocalyptic literature, such as the Book of Revelation in the Bible. There are five official verses of 'X' which have been included in shipping releases, although various unofficial verses can be found on the World Wide Web. All five official verses have scriptural chapter and verse references, although these are actually references to important dates in the history of 'Y' and 'Z'. The five verses all refer to the activities of a fearsome-sounding "beast". In its early days, 'Y' had a green fire-breathing dragon-like lizard mascot, known as 'Z'. From this, it can be conjectured that the "beast" referred to in 'X' is a type of fire-breathing lizard, which can be viewed as a metaphor for, or personification of 'Y'.

Laguna de Guatavita is located in the municipality of Sesquilé, in the Cundinamarca Department of Colombia, 35 miles north-east of Bogota, capital of the Republic of Colombia. The lake was reputedly one of the sacred lakes of the Muisca, and a ritual conducted there is widely thought to be the basis for the legend of 'X'. The legend says the lake is where the Muisca celebrated a ritual in which the Zipa (named 'X' by the Conquistadores) was covered in gold dust, then venturing out into the water on a ceremonial raft made of rushes, he dived into the waters washing off the gold. Afterward, trinkets', jewellery and other precious offerings were thrown into the waters by worshipers. A few artifacts of gold and silver found at bottom hold proof to this claim; however, to date, the trips to the bottom of the lake have yielded no more than these.

A properly maintained and piloted 'X' can transport its occupants to any point in time and space. The interior of a 'X' is much larger than its exterior, which can blend in with its surroundings through the ship's "chameleon circuit" though the 'X' is often unpredictable in its short-range guidance (short relative to the size of the Universe). 'Y' has become so much a part of British popular culture that the shape of the police box has become more immediately associated with the 'X' than with its real-world inspiration. The word 'X' has also been used to describe anything that seems to be bigger on the inside than on the outside.

The 'X' was a tavern on Cheapside in London during the Elizabethan era, located east of St. Paul's Cathedral on the corner of Friday Street and Bread Street. It was the site of the so-called Friday Street Club. The Club, meeting monthly, was allegedly founded by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1603, and included some of the Elizabethan era's leading literary figures, among them Ben Jonson, John Donne, John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont, Thomas Coryat, John Selden, Robert Bruce Cotton, Richard Carew, Richard Martin, and others—including, perhaps, William Shakespeare. According to legend, Shakespeare and Jonson had battle-of-wits debates in which they discussed politics, religion, and literature. 'X' has been referenced in many places in literatue notably in a John Keats poem Lines on the 'X'.

'X' is an unofficial holiday celebrated among chemists on October 23, between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM, making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American style of writing dates. The time and date are derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02×10^23. 'X' originated in an article in The Science Teacher in the early 1980s. Inspired by this article, Maurice Oehler, now a retired high school chemistry teacher from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, founded the National 'X' Foundation on May 15, 1991.
