question of the day

 1943. Ignacio Anaya was working at the Victory Club in Piedras Negras, Mexico, just over the border from Texas

There were a lot of American servicemen stationed at Fort Duncan in Texas, and one fine evening, a large group of these soldiers wives walk in to the restaurant after it had already closed for the day.

Not wanting to leave these women disappointed, Ignacio imrpovised with what little ingredients he had available in the kitchen, corn flour, salt and oil to make certain "chips" and then a bit of veggies to top it up, and it has since then, famously been served with tomatoes or avocados.

What, which was also a nickname for Ignacio, a word play on the latter part of his first name?

The co-founder of company X thought of its name and was inspired by a "creek" or a narrow channel of water passing behind his house. The creek apparently shared its name with spanish for "sundries earth, mud and straw", a common building material in the area.

The English dictionary, however, adopted this word "X" as a type of clay used as building material, officially.

X, that often is used as an "expressly acrobatic reader", a firefly or an illustrator?

 The term X was introduced by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene. Dawkins, a fellow of New College, Oxford, is widely known for his work in evolutionary theory and his outspoken atheism. He later became internationally recognized for The God Delusion and his documentary The Root of All Evil?, which critiqued religion. His introduction of X aimed to describe how cultural information spreads in a manner analogous to genes.

X refers to any unit of cultural transmission, ideas, symbols, practices, that replicate and evolve by being passed from person to person through imitation or communication.

Today, X is commonly used in both academic and online contexts. Its popular usage has grown with digital platforms, especially social media, where over 90% of viral trends and content can be classified as forms of X. It has become central to discussions on culture, media, and digital communication.
