Darling MNHQ, please, please, please could you arrange for the Biscuit Emoticon to fucking do one?

Really, please, just make it go.

If people don't wish to comment, than they can simply

Not write anything at all

Or it's meant to be sneery.

Or someone misunderstands it and offers it nicely with tea. And then gets flounced at with impunity. As no one really knows whether it's offensive or not.

In fact there are so many interpretations of what the biscuit means according to each individual, that technically you could probably have an entire thread using only the biscuit, with each poster making a unique comment.

There's another election due soon, it stopped being ironic and funny about 5 months after the thread that birthed it.

Seriously, just retire it.

I'm sick of trying to figure out why someone may have posted a biscuit. Post something clever, post something stupid. But don't post Gordens fucking biscuit Angry

Why did they delete that bong emoticon?

HoneyDragon · 02/04/2014 22:24

Tiggy

You cannot infer MNHQ are bunch of gin swigging stoners.

It not polite.

It might be true. But it's not polite.

We still need vomit.

HoneyDragon · 02/04/2014 22:23

No More Emoticons! Just drop the biscuit. Pleeeeeease.

I'm not averse to begging, now I know you are listening.
I'd offer behaving, but we all know that ain't gonna happen. But I will beg.

If they've got the munchies...

...hmmm...

Hi HoneyDragon, hi all,

Just so you know, we are listening - though it's hard to hear what you're saying above all the Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit munching here at MNHQ Grin

Please do keep the suggestions coming - we're open to possibilities! Though not quite sure what the meaning of a tiramisu emoticon could possibly be, Wolfiefan ...

LineRunner · 02/04/2014 22:03

I have never understood the use of the biscuit.

I thought it was a boob!

owlbegoing · 02/04/2014 22:00

Maybe a garibaldi for when the thread is about anything forrin? Smile

Wolfiefan · 02/04/2014 21:59

Now I'm bloody hungry!!

Wolfiefan · 02/04/2014 21:58

Perhaps:
Shortbread
Bourbon
Cookie
Cracker
Jaffa
Rich tea?
See lots of nuances!
Then there's:
Cheesecake
Gateau
Tiramisu
Eclairs!

So true! I laughed at this!

AryaOfHouseSnark · 02/04/2014 21:54

I think we need a [cat] emoticon or at the very least a [viper].

ShimmeringInTheSun · 02/04/2014 21:52

nope!

ShimmeringInTheSun · 02/04/2014 21:52

Tardis not sure if this will work or not.

PartialFancy · 02/04/2014 21:51

But... but... what will I have with my Brew?

Nessalina · 02/04/2014 21:49

Actually, the thing that annoys me most about the Biscuit is that on the phone app it is represented by an emoticon of a Japanese rice ball with nori decoration. Fact.

RustyBear · 02/04/2014 21:47

Or the TARDIS back?

owlbegoing · 02/04/2014 21:44

When you get rid of the biscuit could we have a G&T instead Tech?
Please?
Pretty please?

DaleyBum · 02/04/2014 21:41

I would like a medal emoticon.

Biscuit Wink
LyndaCartersBigPants · 02/04/2014 21:40

Ooh you've done it already!!!

LyndaCartersBigPants · 02/04/2014 21:39

And while you're at it could you please change the bracketed word for flowers to Flowers so that they're suitable for every occasion, thanks!

Or even Thanks

TheCowThatLaughs · 02/04/2014 21:38

Just checking I could do a blank post. I agree with the op.that biscuits are annoying and pointless and make me fat
