  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  xor  /X'or/,  /kzor/  conj.  Exclusive  or  `A  xor  B'  means  `A  or 
  B,  but  not  both'.  "I  want  to  get  cherry  pie  xor  a  banana  split." 
  This  derives  from  the  technical  use  of  the  term  as  a  function  on 
  truth-values  that  is  true  if  exactly  one  of  its  two  arguments  is  true.
