X, as in Mexico

BESO

Think of a sweet gesture often exchanged in Spanish-speaking countries during greetings.

This clue plays on the letter "X" sounding like the Spanish word "equis," which is how Mexicans pronounce the letter. In Spanish, "un beso" (a kiss) is often represented as "X" in texts or notes, like how English uses "X" for kisses. So "X, as in Mexico" hints at the Spanish term for a kiss—"beso."
