Text shorthand
This seems to be quite common shorthand in social media apps and texting, but I can't find what it means. Any ideas? My particular context is:
Me puedes envirar el domicilio xfis
Me puedes envirar el domicilio xfis

por favor = please
"Writing “xfis” is text-message shorthand for “porfis” which is a rather teenage-girly way of saying “por favor.” Other “cute” ways of saying “por favor” include saying “porfi” and “porfa.” Porfa seems to be gaining popularity and isn’t limited to “cute talk” anymore.
"In contemporary usage, the “X” is used for the word “por”... It appears to be related to the use of X in maths, where 2 X 3 is written “dos por tres."

Please
Xfis I imagine is porfis, a colloquial way of saying por favor, the x replaces the "por" part.
