do you have to wear a zoot suit to Xeet

  A new word for you: XEET.

But According to Snopes that word doesn't exist...

Are Tweets Now Called 'Xeets'? The claim spread as Twitter owner Elon Musk began to rebrand the social media platform as “X.”
On July 24, 2023, claims began to spread online that a "tweet" had officially become a "xeet" after Twitter owner Elon Musk began to rebrand the social media platform as "X."
"A 'Tweet' is now officially referred to as a 'Xeet' according to X's new help center page," a Twitter post said on July 24, 2023. Attached to the post was an image that claimed to show a screenshot of X's help center page that said, "How to Xeet."

But we found no evidence that a "X help center" existed, or that a tweet was now officially a "xeet." At the time of this writing, Twitter's help center page still said, "How to Tweet." Further, when we searched "How to X" on the website, no search results appeared.

 

,,but apparently people are using that term anyway, and that is actually how new words appear: By being used by ordinary folk. For example,,,

  the word xeet reminds me of the word Zoot.

And some of us are old enough to remember zoot suits.

so if you xeet, does this mean you have to wear a zoot suit??
