sjordan2 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I also wish everyone a happy everything during this season. One thing I'd like to mention, that I learned during Bible studies many decades ago...that is, that "X" in this use is the Greek letter "chi," which stands for Christ. "Xmas" is a common abbreviation of the word "Christmas". It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but it, and variants such as "Xtemass", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "Mass",[1] while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".[2] There is a common misconception that the word Xmas is a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas[3] by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas". It's also interesting to read about the use of the "chi" in the ichthus fish symbol, and the meaning of "IXOUS" as code among early Christians during their persecution. http://www.abideinchrist.com/selah/sep4.html
sjordan2 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Thank you, professor Jordan! Now everyone can feel better about using "Xmas" in their tweets to keep the character count down. Edited December 17, 2011 by sjordan2
bandit1 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 MERRY CHRISTMAS ! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'M NOT POLITICALLY RIGHT!... I'M HISTORICALLY CORRECT !
diymirage Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 interesting as that may be Skip...our everyday conversation isnt in latin, greek or aramaic...its in plain old english (or our feeble attempts at such) and in english we call the anointed one "christ" (yes i am aware that i seem to be contradicting myself) my point being, i like seeing Christ in Christmass <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-cztAWGEx-A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

stulee11 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 Hey, Stu ... So what is 'brill'? How does that translate to the colonists' English? (And, thanks again for ditching the 'X'.) brill is short for brilliant
sjordan2 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) brill is short for brilliant And "brilliant" translates to "very cool." Edited December 17, 2011 by sjordan2
diymirage Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 And "brilliant" translates to "very cool." and "very cool" in this setting translates to a white Christmass, just like the ones i used to know
sjordan2 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 and "very cool" in this setting translates to a white Christmass, just like the ones i used to know If you're from Wisconsin, the white Christmases you used to know aren't too far in the past.
