Slang: THX

THX

---

Are you a Star Wars fan? Or maybe just a fan of George Lucas and his production company, Lucasfilm? If so, you’ll be happy to know that THX isn’t just shorthand for lazy people typing “thanks,” it’s also the acronym for Tomlinson Holman’s eXperiment, an audio spin-off of Lucasfilm. THX was created by Tomlinson Holman for the third Star Wars film, to ensure optimal sound quality.
If you’ve been to a movie lately, you’ve undoubtedly heard the “deep note” crescendo. Check out the video above for a memory jog.
