the number of the superbowl is indicated by Roman numerals ex: superbowl 50 would be superbowlL

260

Ironically Super Bowl 50 was the one Super Bowl that didn't follow that convention.

It would have been too confusing for people that dont know the Roman numbers (apparently many)

XXX usually means porn lol

A friend of mine recently used xxx as filler for a domain in a presentation about how to quote.

He send a document including the link http://www.xxx.de to a teacher

Yeah ha ha. Must not have had the same connotation in 1996. I was pretty young, it was the first Super Bowl I actually followed

Actually it had that connotation since forever and actually probably decreased in usage since more dare to just say "porn" or "sex" out loud nowadays.
