GinX

»Review« 

“GinX” is not an advertisement for gin, and the “X” following “Gin” isn’t added for emphasis. The letter “X” extends the word “gin” to create the phonetic suggestion of “jinx”—pronounced d͡ʒˈɪŋks—thereby establishing the work’s true subject. In this context, “jinx” (among its various possible translations within the same semantic field) corresponds to the German word “Fluch” (curse). Nothing more needs to be said.
