Cuppa or Hot Beverage?

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. The result of our cup of tea emoticon poll show a clear win for the cuppa fans.

So.... all that remains is to decide what text we all type in to make our cup of tea emoticon appear.

Would you like [cuppa] ?

Or the rather less liquid-specific/more amusing but longer-to-type [hot beverage] ?

Do let us know...

[mug]

It is the all inclusive option. And so versatile.

I like [cuppa], short but sweet

Oooh, I like [mug]. Opens up new possibilities for emoticon use!!

[mug] - multipurpose

I'm with [mug]

I like a multipurpose emoticon, like the biscuit and the green face

[mug] sounds good

My I suggest the northern ?

Do you want a ?

's up.

There's no cuppa's or beverages in our area, but lots of [brew}s.

I may be a lone voice, but one can but try.

For me some people the shorter words are difficult enough. eg [wunk]

God knows what a has I they would make of "hot beverage"

I'm liking but if that's not an option I'd go for [cuppa]

PS Just noticed the bear is missing from the list. Is it a new test to prove we are genuine MNers?

The trouble with [mug] is our emoticon is a rather well-mannered cup and saucer.

And [mug] could perhaps be, er, misinterpreted upon occasion?

Or we can make it easy and do [t]

vote for here, too.

[mug] I often wonder if I have this written on my forehead totally multi purpose.

at misinterpreted. Are you saying we can be mean on occasion?!

I really want [medal] but suspect it might be similarly erm abused!

i like [mug] - good one soupy... :)

Another vote for here - Have we asked Norman though

So, given you've gone for the tea specific cup and saucer, why are you trying to pretend you are being inclusive of other hot beverages?

You have mislead us.

[cup]

?

"Please note that although we are using the word 'tea' the emoticon can be used as any hot beverage of your choosing (attempt to fend off enraged coffee/ Horlicks/ hot chocolate or Bovril drinks)."

This was clearly a lie because no one drinks other hot beverages from a cup and saucer. You put it to the voters with a blatant misrepresentation of the facts.

Are you David Cameron?

[Hot Bev]

Also open to misinterpretation....

um. how many of us actually drink out of a cup and saucer?

and don't give me that crap about it tasting better out of bone china because i simply don't believe it.

I drink coffee and hot chocolate from a cup and saucer

[hot drink]

No reason not to drink coffee or whatever else from a cup and saucer

[cup] and please don't bother with a saucer.

My DD like to drink out of the saucer...
