Crosses (out)

XES

Think of what you might jot down to mark completed tasks or incorrect options—these letters often stand in for the word itself.

Crosses (out)" hints at the letter "X," which is often used to mark something as canceled or removed—like crossing out a mistake. The "es" at the end turns it into a plural verb, meaning to erase or eliminate multiple things. So, "X" plus "es" gives you "XES," a playful way to describe the act of crossing items out.
