o que significa “XOXO” em inglês?

Escrevi há pouco tempo um texto intitulado “Vocabulário: Abraço” e acabei me esquecendo de falar sobre  XOXO, expressão popularizada pela série de TV Gossip Girl e também pela canção XO de Beyoncé. Perguntado por um leitor, resolvi complementar o post original aqui.

Sabemos que XOXO quer dizer “Abraços e beijos” e é a forma usada para encerrarmos informalmente uma carta ou e-mail. Entretanto, não existe consenso quanto à origem da expressão. Há quem afirme que o X representa os lábios de duas pessoas se beijando e a letra O, quatro braços formando um abraço. Outra teoria diz que o X é a representação dos braços e o O significa o formato da boca ao beijar. Não deixe de ler o que o Prof. Michael Jacobs escreveu sobre o tema, em “Abraços: como dizer “abraços” e “beijos” em inglês?“.

Já que estamos falando sobre XOXO, aproveito a oportunidade para agradecer a todos pelo interesse no Tecla SAP e pela ajuda na divulgação do conteúdo do blog durante todos esses anos. A afirmação é até óbvia, mas nunca é demais lembrar que sem a sua participação, o Tecla SAP não existiria. Muito obrigado de coração!

XOXO

What's the meaning of "Sleep Tight"

Today's topic I'm going to talk about the Idiom "Sleep Tight" and its origin. This 19th century expression isn't, as is often wrongly claimed, a reference to the tightness of the strings used to support mattresses. 'Tight' just means 'soundly/properly' and 'sleep tight' just means 'sleep soundly'. The word was probably chosen because of its rhyme with night, so people wished other 'good night, sleep tight'.
