We do indeed. But then again if we ever felt need to give a hug I guess we'd just do (((((hugs)))) or whatever it is.

I think many of the edge people in that photo could be from casualty - they look rather flattened.

Yes yes squonk.. a sort of "nah, go on" emoticon.

Gin and [wino] are usually used for "plastered"

fryalot · 11/03/2009 16:06

soupy - that one in the middle at the back, slightly to the left... is that her out of casaulty?

SoupDragon · 11/03/2009 16:06

"Dear god no!" is the standard response whenever anyone suggests more emoticons.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch I don't have time to surf all threads usually and stick to those I can help on, or need help on.

I like the hun icon but think a plastered one would be more useful. Any takers??

OP posts:
fryalot · 11/03/2009 16:05

perhaps a "hits other poster affectionately, yet really rather painfully on the arm" emoticon?

Who would have thought the top image result for hun would be this

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 11/03/2009 16:04

Am amazed you've been here six years and not noticed the general feeling about hugging

bunnyrabbit · 11/03/2009 16:02

Fine ledodgy, but I?ve obviously been sheltered in my use of mumsnet over the past 6 years as I was not expecting quite such a violent/patronising response?.. a simple " we're not sure we like the idea as it will probably get over used" would probably have sufficed.

And as for girlie.. this I must show to DH..... oh and the manly handshake... lol

How about a vomit one?

OOOOOOO
UUUUUUUU

bunyrabbit - I think people fear the slippery slope to soppymumsRus.net. with lots of pink and banners and tickers. [shudder]. (now that's a candidate for a new emoticon)

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 11/03/2009 16:01

We are very manly in our hugging, aren't we?

It's very much of the "awkward, two men hugging with much bashing of backs" type hugging, that only occurs when something major has happened.

Ledodgy · 11/03/2009 16:00

*I should have added when your computer was playing up to that sentence.

Ledodgy · 11/03/2009 16:00

Bunny are you the same Bunny that posted loads and loads of multiple threads once? That was hilarious. I haven't seen you around for a while.

Fimbo · 11/03/2009 15:59

Feeks. No.

And no tickers either.
