Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem to make much sense - but it's just something you yell when you're coming through and people had better get out of your way.

On the X-disliking, I actually made fun of them when I saw the first commercial (The one with the Lenny Kravitz song)... I thought they were stupid looking... but things tend to grow on me and I was buying one a few months later.

I still think the X has some bad angles. It looks great from the front and especially the sides... but it looks kind of goofy from the back.
