Good question! "X'ed" is a term that derives from the term "punked", created by an American Comedian named Jamie Kennedy. Being "X'ed" or "punked" means you got pranked. It was a term used on several American comedy shows in the early 2000s, but is not used in conversation. Ex: You see that hidden camera over there? You've been X'ed!
