What does this emoji mean to you? 👌

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

DH sent a message to remind me to put the rice on. I replied that I had and he replied to that with 👌.

I was a bit as I thought it meant 'arsehole' but he thinks it means OK.

You’re funny OP

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar

Not the first time I've misinterpreted an emoji. I once got this one 💪 from my personal trainer while I was lying on my side and didn't have the rotate lock on so that I was looking at a 90 degrees rotated emoji. Tilt your head to the left to see what I saw.

It means OK to me, I think it's origin is actually sign language rather than scuba

It means A-okay. Bang on. Perfect.

Never did I think it meant arsehole 🤣🤣

I hope it means okay or else I've replied with a lot of arseholes.

Also, do you think “arsehole” is a feasible response to confirmation that the rice is on to cook?

😂🤣😂

It means ok, although some white supremacists are trying to claim it as "their symbol"

I think in Brazil it does mean arsehole. Any Brazilian mumsnetters around to confirm?

Sad pricks. The piece of poo would appropriate along with a middle finger.

OK

“Yes I’ve already put it on but thanks for the reminder”

“Arsehole”

🤣🤣🤣

It means ok. The finger and thumb is the O, and the other three fingers are the K.

Well, I was a little surprised. But you know, 30 years of marriage can have an effect on people. It might have been the thing that tipped him over the edge.

In the underwater diving world it means "I am okay and we can carry on (with whatever it is that we've agreed to do)".

@JosephineDeBeauharnais

It means “spot on” or “ok”. Mind you, I’m saying that as someone who thought the aubergine 🍆 emoji was, well, an aubergine 🍆

Me too !

What's the 🍆 emoji then if it's not an 🍆 ?!

👉🏻👌🏻 ?? Really 🤣

It means 'ok' in the West. You're absolutely right that it's deeply offensive because it means 'arsehole' in some cultures. I forget which.

Okay

Ah. In some European countries as well, in fact.

I'd say it's 'OK' but I also use it to say e.g. I was this close 👌🏼 to doing something (and my phone just suggested it as an emoji when I typed that)

Ok or perfect.

“I think in Brazil it does mean arsehole. Any Brazilian mumsnetters around to confirm?”

I’m not Brazilian but I think you’re right - I’m sure we were told not to do this on a favela tour!

Yes, it means ok, everything's fine.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND (excepting chefs) HAS EVER NEEDED TO SEND A PICTURE OF AN AUBERGINE? WHO??

I’d hate to know about the state of your arse if you think 👌🏻 resembles it, OP!
