When something is fantastic, you might say it "rox." For example, if your great grandma swing dances at her 90th birthday, you might say, "Grandma Arlene rox! I can't even do that at my age!"
The abbreviation comes from "rocks," which people began using in the 1960s as a verb to describe the excellence or coolness of something. While a few people have used rox as an abbreviation since then, the usage grew a lot in the late-1990s and early-2000s as texting and online messaging became commonplace.
Nowadays, you'll see the abbreviation used by people of all ages to describe a thing or person that is excellent. Examples include describing your favorite football player, complimenting a musician about a song they performed, or commenting on the awesomeness of a movie.
