Did you know that a six-paneled door is meant to represent a tzeilem and an open bible? Some people who buy houses that have them spend money to replace them!

If it was 4 panels then it would look like a cross.

just like the usage of N word, although its been years since slavery and Black people themselves often use it, it is still not okay to say. time can fade off the original meaning but it can't erase it.

The English Oh Em Gee to represent Oh My G-d can be compared to the yiddish oy mein gut, or gut in himmel, etc. I don't see how it's a problem.
But finger crossing is icky. The hands emoji also bothered me until I learned Chabad put their hands together like that for modeh ani.

Actually although we put our hands together we turn out hands a little to the side, specifically so it won't be like that symbol of prayer. (Chabad)

The 6 panel door originated in the 1700s as an expression of Xian faith. The top 4 panels represent the cross, the bottom 2 panels represent an open bible. |

completely different from that X emoji -- not only do we tilt to the right side but our hands are not held palm to palm but rather one on top of the other, like curl your left hand into a half circle fingers pointing down and then put your right hand over it both palms down -- Chabad

FWIW, there are other sites that question this theory

The back and forth in the comments is interesting.
