What Does 'Xd' Mean in Texting? the Definitive Modern Slang & Etiquette Guide
Receiving an XD requires no complex translation; the sender is simply laughing with you. Your response should mirror the casual energy of the conversation.
If the joke is sharp, reply with an equally energetic response: "No way that actually happened!" or toss back a quick "LMAO stop." If the message touches on shared nostalgia, matching their style with a retro emoticon like :P or an appreciative xD maintains conversational rhythm. For everyday chats, you do not even need to comment on the laughter itself, treat it as a natural smile during an in-person chat, acknowledge the humor, and let the conversation roll forward.
