What Does PLOX Mean in a Text?
The word PLOX means "Please."The use of the word PLOX to mean "Please" derives from the contraction PLS, which later became PLZ and subsequently PLX. (Probably because each abbreviation seems cooler than the previous one.) However, nowadays PLOX is widely considered to have the connotation of asking for something in a whinging, begging voice.
Of interest, the letter X is often used to end a contraction. For example, RX and TX are often used as shorthand for receive and transmit. This use of X is a bleed-over from mathematics, where the variable X can represent anything.
