Can we have a scowl emoticon?????

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?

gosh I'd forgotten about that re the vomit emoticon, but oooh, a general unwell one would be good....surely that would keep the emetophobes happy?

I'd never heard of emetophobia until I joined MN either, but I know one myself in RL now as well.

I would love a confused emoticon. I would also love a "FFS get off your high horse and get a sense of humour" emoticon.

I REALLY want a Gallic shrug emoticon.

Yeap a scowl and a boak, not sure how you would do boak though

I am with Charleein Chains, I am confused far more than scowling.

trillian, my MIL is terrified of vomiting.

hers was left over from suffering from hyperemisis during her two pregnancies. she now has to have jabs to help her if she is feeling like she will be sick as she has heart issues and the fear makes it worse.

that said, I don;t know of anyone else phobic, altho I do know a few who are scared (IYGWIM)

CharleeInChains · 16/03/2009 17:38

I really want, no needa confused emotion kind of like this - :S but in a smiley!

Also a general unwell one, possibly a little strieght mouth and just some green cheeks on a yellow smiley?

MargotBeauregarde · 16/03/2009 17:35

I agree, because sometimes anger is too strong. You just want to depict something in between and .

Trillian, I met a woman who is so afraid of vomiting that she won'thave children. Once at school I had a terrible bug and a different girl started shrieking. Everybody was comforting her (in her terror that I might vomit again) and I was left shaking, sweating and mopping up my own vomit, while everybody from matron to head girl stroked the emetophobe! so, I've met two in rl!!

TrillianAstra · 16/03/2009 17:32

Do you think mumsnet is unnaturally enriched for emetophobes?

I mean, in RL I've never known anyone who was actually phobic of vomit or vomiting.

psychomum5 · 16/03/2009 16:59

oh no, I actually want a teeny brown axe waving about

I think the [vomit] one was veto'd by the entomophobes(sp?) as they would be a little freaked by it.

I have to say, being terrified of baby flies (to the point I cannot even type their damn name), and also the black things with 8 legs (won;t type their name for the scared people), I can kinda understand their point......
