blessed answered Friday August 3 2007, 10:14 pm: Even though the people who have answered have very good points, xxx does not only go to hardcore porn. xxx can also mean straight edge. I looked it up cause I knew I would be having some trouble explaining it. Here is what I have found:
"Straight edge (also known as sXe, and xXx) refers to a lifestyle (deemed both counter culture and subculture) closely associated with hardcore punk music. There is considerable debate over what constitutes the practice of the straight edge lifestyle. The most widely associated perception involves practicing at least some degree of abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Some views may also include abstinence from caffeine, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and abstinence from various levels and forms of sexual activity."

But a lot of people have it in their screennames, and they aren't intending to mean it like that. Since it's really hard to get the screenname you want (because they're all taken), people will add XXX or OOO or XOX before & after the name they want. (For example, the screenname ashley might be taken, but xxxashleyxxx or xoxashleyxox might be available). It's sort of like a "decoration" around the name, and it helps give you a better chance of getting the screenname you want. [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

obviously everyone knows what it means so you should tell her what it means and try to get her to change her screenname cause its obviously not a good thing.=]

They're just be immature and reading into it. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
softballcatb answered Friday August 3 2007, 7:52 pm: It usually refers to pornography. Idk if you have ever watched it, but it usually says something like 'hardcore xxx action'. It's a very sexual notation, and not a very good thing to be showing in your screen name, people could get the wrong impression and think your friend is a whore or something.
