From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [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.
