During the canonization process of the Roman Catholic
Church, the Promoter of the Faith, popularly known as
the X, was a lawyer appointed by the Church to argue
against the canonization of a candidate. It was this
person’s job to take a skeptical view of the candidate's
character, to look for holes in the evidence, to argue that
any miracles attributed to the candidate were fraudulent,
and so on. X opposed God's reasonings; also known as
the Promoter of the Cause, whose task was to make the
argument in favour of canonization. The office was
established in 1587 during the reign of Pope Sixtus V and
abolished by Pope John Paul II in 1983. What is X?

Georgism, named after Henry George is an economic ideology that holds
that everyone owns what they create, but that everything found in nature,
most importantly land, belongs equally to all humanity. Georgism has also
been synonymous with a single tax on land.
Although this could be done by nationalising land and then leasing it out,
George preferred taxing unimproved land value. With the revenue from this
"single tax", the state could avoid having to levy any other type of tax.
In 1904, a Quaker woman named Elizabeth J. Magie Phillips invented X
through which she hoped to be able to explain the single tax theory.
After being rehashed several times over the next decades, Charles Darrow
came up with the definitive version of X, called Y, by which we all know it
today.

X originally read XLAND, and its purpose was to advertise a
new housing development in the hills above the X district .
H.J. Whitley had already used a sign to advertise his
development Whitley Heights, which was located between
Highland Avenue and Vine Avenue. He suggested to his friend
Harry Chandler, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, that the
land syndicate in which he was involved make a similar sign to
advertise their land. Real estate developers Woodruff and
Shoults called their development Xland and advertised it as a
"superb environment without excessive cost on the X side of
the hills.”
The Crescent Sign Company was hired to do the project.

In 1688 a Swiss doctor, identified a new medical
syndrome also called "hypochondria of the
heart". Various displaced Swiss of the
seventeenth century suffered from the disease.
Sufferers took on a lifeless and haggard
countenance, became indifferent to their
surroundings, confused past and present, and
even hallucinated voices and ghosts. The best
treatment for the Swiss was a visit to the Alps.
Nowadays the word is used for an emotion.
