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

Don't hijack threads. Not cool.
Also why does your 5 year old have access to the internet unsupervised, concerning…

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
🤣🤣🤣 a cock and balls story!

@Squidthing

I think it means okay but I am old.
Me too.

I always assumed it meant 'be seeing you', but that may relate to my enthusiasm for Portmeirion.

I've decided to use the confusion to my advantage when dealing with people that I don't like. So I can reply to a message with "OK 👌" and have plausible logic that it means 'OK, perfect' when I know that I mean 'OK, you arsehole'. Grin They won't know but it will cheer me up immensely.

I only learnt on here a while ago that a thumbs up isn’t all it seems, and not the innocent ok I thought it was.

A (male) work colleague used it in the group chat recently to describe just how cold the showers were at work. We all understood what he was referring to.

(The ok emoji by the way, not the aubergine one - quite the opposite 😂)

Well according to another thread I have just seen it's actually linked to a far right white power organisation!!!

😮

It means ok to me.
But I see from the grandson school photography thread that, like so many other historically innocuous words and symbols, it now carries other connotations.
