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 Shock as I thought it meant 'arsehole' but he thinks it means OK. Grin

It means A-OK or OK or Perfect.

PinkBuffalo · 21/10/2021 20:22

I use it to mean ok 👌

FatFredsFriedEgg · 21/10/2021 20:32

I've understood that as meaning 'OK' for the last 50 years or so. I've a vague idea I got it from Spiderman comics in the 70s.

I think my son uses the emoji to call me a wanker!

Thumbs up means OK
Thumbs down means NO
From when the Romans voted Life or Death for the gladiators in the Circus.

Mynameismargot · 21/10/2021 21:08

I'd take it to mean ok or perfect, that is the only context I have ever seen it used in.

REDHERO · 21/10/2021 21:12

Is it rabbit ears?

Motherland101 · 21/10/2021 21:19

@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. Shock

@coffeeschmoffee

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

Not Brazilian but can confirm that in Brazil and some European countries (including the one I live in) this emoji or sign definitely means arsehole

Nightfeedwatcher · 21/10/2021 21:20

Chefs kiss 🍝 👌🏽

Luckytattie · 21/10/2021 21:23

Perfect/A-OK!

IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 21/10/2021 21:24

The aubergine is a cock?

It's purple.
With green at one end.

Anyone with one like that needs to see a gp pretty bloody quickly 😁
