I can’t be the only one with loved and hated emojis.

My favourite and most used one is probably: 😬

I hate this guy: 🙂 smug little passive aggressive wanker.

I also hate this one: 🤪

My favourites are 😂🙈😘

Don't really have any I don't like. I quite liberally sprinkle emoji's through text/fb messages!

I do forget about some though because they scroll up/down, rather than sideways.

🙃 hate hate hate this. what does it even mean??. it makes no sense and is used completely at random. ugh.

amusedbush · 16/05/2019 20:43

Nah, for true passive aggression you need this fella: 🙃

ButterflyBitch · 16/05/2019 20:44

I like 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈😂🤷🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙄
I don’t get what this 😐 means!

MollyHuaCha · 16/05/2019 20:45

Love this one Hmm

FiremanKing · 16/05/2019 20:45

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 16/05/2019 20:46

I love 🙃

I love when people think 😂 is a crying face. Leads to some delightfully inappropriate Facebook posts

😌 for smugness even though I don’t think it is meant to mean that.

Dislike 😚 but not sure why

mouldyhousemouldylife · 16/05/2019 21:39

👌 fucking hate this smug one, usually used when boasting about something.

shatteredandstressed · 16/05/2019 21:40

@ButterflyBitch
I think 😐 means meh or whatever

StellarLunar · 16/05/2019 21:40

The poo emoji is so crude. It makes me cringe

PuppyMonkey · 16/05/2019 21:41

The MN ones are best - HmmandConfused both speak a thousand words.

Worsethingshappenatsea · 16/05/2019 21:42

🙄 is my frequently used favourite

marvellousnightforamooncup · 16/05/2019 22:05

I'm sure I heard that 👌 is now a far right sign.

Puppymonkey, I agree. The non Mumsnet alternatives to those just don't cut it.

MajesticWhine · 16/05/2019 22:14

I quite like 😐 - I sometimes use it as sorry. eg - I can't make it to drinks 😐

I like 😑 I use it in times of extreme exasperation

Ah I'm glad you started this thread because my MN emojis viewing ease has recently changed. Here screenshots of what I see.

Some show up normal sized.

Some show up mahoosive.

Is this the same for all of you?

Wish GrinHmmConfused could be actual emojis
Love 🥺🥴🙄🥰😸🙈🙊🙃🤷‍♀️🤮
Hate 😕 just doesn’t have the same punch as Confused

DpWm · 16/05/2019 22:22

I'm going to test a few
Smile 😁😀😚

DpWm · 16/05/2019 22:23

Yeah they're just abnormally gigantic apart from the one selected from Mumsnet.

Do not like.

ButterflyBitch · 16/05/2019 22:28

Meh face makes sense from the way it looks but people use it almost as a smiley and then I get confused. doesn’t take much
I’d love this to be a normal emoji and not just a Mumsnet one Hmm would be so useful

keepingbees · 16/05/2019 22:29

Another vote for this Hmm 'wtf are you on about' face. I miss it when not on MN haha.

I use: 😂😁😬🙈🙄😳😩😑😡 the most. I don't use many others, there's usually everything except what I'm looking for!
