Xing out
Striking from lists
Xing out is crossing out—marking something with an X to delete, cancel, or eliminate it.
The X serves as a visual strike-through: She xed out the wrong answers, I'm xing out that whole paragraph.
The spelling reflects the letter's name.
Also written as X-ing out or exing out.
