I still think X is too arbitrary. If they wanted to give it some class, they should use a Cyrillic letter or something. Or just call it LAI, since that's three letters and International actually does start with I. Or do it like this: LA_ and turn it into a word game.


In a certain Maya dialect, still spoken in parts of SoCal and Nevada, Lai means "May the Horse-God put his big one up your most exalted anus." Historians don't know if this was a curse or a compliment, but in today's vernacular it has only a figurative meaning, which is "turn off the kettle, the water is boiling."

So in deference to the travellers of Mayan descent, they could not call LA International Airport LAI. And they could not call it LAA, either, since it would wave clashed with the La Scala Airport in Milan. LAB is taken by the Labrador Airport in Canada; LAC, by Lake Louise National Ariport; LAD by Scotland's airport in a monk's town where all inhabitants are male; LAE was availae, but it sounded stupid.

Then they gave up the search at this point and put in an X to say, in short, "it's more complax than that."

See, that's symmetry. It's perfect. So much better than "He was lax as he went through LAX." What does that even mean?

Methinks, a brown streak on the floor that followed him everywhere he went, like a Russian soviet spy.

FLAX is one letter too many. You can consider yourself lucky that this did not get Flaxed. Flagsed. Flagged.

Sooner or later, they will run out of 3-letter combinations; the 4-letter form is inevitable. FLAX and JERK and LAMP and BIRD and MARS will all be airports one day. Unless planes are discontinued.
