Actually, there was at least one microprocessor that had a Sign EXtend instruction that was abbreviated “SEX” in its assembler. Another amusing instruction set had no straight-SEX mnemonic, but did have logical OR and AND operations whose assembler mnemonics were ORL and ANL.
Incidentally, did you know that in old Macintoshes, all of the models that ran off of a Motorola 60030 processor were given the suffix “x”? The Macintosh IIcx, for example. All, that is, except for the SE/30. It seems that Apple was a little leery about marketing a computer called the “SEx”…
