No X
I'm offering to fix your car. Free, no strings attached. No T's and C's. No X's.
Someone offering to fix a girl's car. I suppose "T & C" stands for terms and conditions.
Thanks in advance,

Tina Vonhof (X)
: Collins says "X's and O's" and does not explain what it means.

Ok, thank you. I expressed a meaning that is valid generally.

B D Finch
: The Collins dictionary entry for "X's and O's" is, quite clear and shows why this is not "a meaning that is valid generally" (or, indeed, at all) for "no X".

no flirting
The use of the X is contextual to the message. After do some research, in my opinion this sentence no 'x' could be no kiss / no flirting.
As for significance, 'X' may be mildly flirtatious. in British 'x' represents a kiss.

: This totally ignores the context and shows a failure to understand how "x" is used in English when used to symbolise a kiss.
