"Remember, it's not called Twitter anymore, but Xitter, with a Chinese X."

Etymology

Blend of X + Twitter following the rebranding of Twitter to X, motivated by the pronunciation of shitter, with the pronunciation of initial ⟨X⟩ as /ʃ/ potentially influenced by Pinyin, as in the name of Xi Jinping (pronounced /ʃiː/ in English). Compare Xitler (a homophone of Shitler).
