To think there is some misuse of the Pombear going on?

[ShanahansRevenge]

People seem to be dealing them out as though they were bicuits! They're not!

I thought they were to be used during those times when there was some extreme "Middle Class arsey-ness" going on..or am I wrong?

Can anyone actually tell me what they are for?

Or AIBU to be such a pedant?

You mean they're not there just so I can make bear puns?

Fuck the pombear.

Tis the most ludicrous innovation on this site since that daft biscuit.

Fuck the pombear? Now that's a smiley I'd like to see!

Fuck the Pombear!

What a screwy thing to say!

I am bitter.

I have been asking MNHQ for a [twat] emoticon for years.

Two days after that pom bear thread that dozy bear appears.

AFAIK it is to diffuse slightly awkward / stilted situations

I was hoping it was just temporary ..it annoys me when I see it [miserable cow]

Oh right...thansks SPB...well I still think people are doling them out as if they were jammy dodgers and it rankles!

GetOrf...I asked for an "arse" emoticon but never got one...I still want one now.
A little pink arse...it would speak volumes and its message could never be confused.

I thought they were for 'calm down dear, have a '

Yes Usual..tis' somewhat annoying somehow....but GetOrf....it is just a bear...a little one at that.

{Picks bear up and dusts it down}

Or possibly when something has completly derailed the conversation and everyone is sitting around in stunned silence ' anyone?'

But it may just be that everyone on MN has used the so they can't say 'my very first ' any more (I bet most of them are lying anyway when they say that)

ARSE emoticon. Fantastic idea.

Or a BUMHOLES emoticon. OOh - could use the biscuit for that, looks the same.

Actually I think people misuse the jammy dodgers.

So...are they for awkward moments? Or for a "Calm down dear" moment?

My bumhole doesn't look like that!

Fuck all the emoticons.

The only one worth having is the (passive/aggressive) after a partcilarly biting comment (a la Bonsoir anna)

Good old Anna. Not that she's called that any more.

We could just pretend the biscuit is an arsehole GetOrf? That's much better than a biscuit!

Yes I have seen it used as the biscuit, when imo it was to introduce a moment of levity if things were going tits up.

And I agree

FUCK THE BEAR

Dammit..the bear has now been kicked AND fucked! I never meant for this to happen!
