Can we have a scowl emoticon?????

37 replies

LackaDAISYcal · 16/03/2009 16:52

sometimes, like today and the way my children have been behaving, I feel the need to scowl about things.

seems too harsh as I'm not angry as such, just a bit hacked off and is the right sort of expression, but the wrong colour.

Can we have a yellow for when we are being scowly but not overly angry about things please?

Helen I trust MNHQ are brilliant enough to get us this far you can surely create a 2D gallic shrug. Go on woman! We're all behind you!

Ooh - MNHQ - PIRATES Please [winsome smile]

Thanks for all the suggestions. We'll have a wee think about them.

hereidrawtheline · 16/03/2009 21:08

oh god that link makes me dizzy

hereidrawtheline · 16/03/2009 21:08

custardo agreed that means you are talking bullocks.

I am telling you gallic shrug is the next step on the emoticon ladder.

the very last one is of a smilie being shot thru the head...........now that one is quite funny

MargotBeauregarde · 16/03/2009 20:52

ha ha, there's one of a gun. Just a gun. Would that do psycho?!

MargotBeauregarde · 16/03/2009 20:51

any good ones here?

Also, I know, one of somebody waving a big white flag. WHen a ruck gets too heated, it'd be nice to just do [whiteflag].

Tortington · 16/03/2009 20:24

i maintain that we need a pensive one - that rubs chin - becuase all we have is which is bascially a ' i dont believe you' emoticon

psychomum5 · 16/03/2009 20:19

oooh yes, a mooning one would be FAB

pagwatch · 16/03/2009 20:09

I would like a [no shit sherlock] one and also [read the thread you great twonk - that was answered half an hour ago].

I would also like one that registers that whilst I have read a comment it is so dreadful and ridiculous that I do not want to dignify it with a proper response. Perhaps that could be a mooning one

hereidrawtheline · 16/03/2009 20:03

LOL LackaDaisy!

Well you would have to incorporate tiny little yellow arms. Thats it though, no moving, just the positioning correct. Perhaps something in the face... dont know... would have to think more on it but slight curl of the lip?

Not entirely sure, but you can bet your bottom dollar that my wee man would definately be scowling at him for it

What exactly would the little yellow man be doing to be gallic and shrugging??
[mind boggles]

hereidrawtheline · 16/03/2009 19:43

Arent you impressed by how self important I sounded?? I am practising! LOL

hereidrawtheline · 16/03/2009 19:42

thank you for your votes ladies I knew the gallic shrug would go down well. I really think it would be most useful too. I am seriously putting it forward to MNHQ.

no no no to waving jumping rolling emoticons...we like our understated little fellas.

gallic shrug would be fantastic though

at gallic shrug emoticon. It should also have a speech bubble saying 'Meh'.

MargotBeauregarde · 16/03/2009 18:37

Can the gallic shrug emoticon have a jaunty little navy berret?

On another forum I go to they import emoticons with arms and legs and no end of expressions from photobcuket. I've never worked out how they do it.

TrillianAstra · 16/03/2009 18:33

Ah, so it's like there's a lot of bumsex on MN - actually it's the same in RL but people just don't tell you

Trinityrhino · 16/03/2009 17:55

trillian

as an emetophobe I would say that you notice them on here as they can be honest about it on here in a way that (for me at least) I did not do in real life

i was terrified but only a select few knew about it and I didn;t want anyone else to know

CharleeInChains · 16/03/2009 17:47

Oh yes a [boak] would be a fab emotion to have. Also a [yawn] for boring (t word) posters.
