Really? Thread worthy? Hmm

KeepingUpWithTheJonses · 30/11/2013 09:59
Grin
KippyVonKipperson · 30/11/2013 10:01

I'd love to be able to do this Confused in real life

FutTheShuckUp · 30/11/2013 10:01

It's sad not arsey

southeastastra · 30/11/2013 10:01

Yabu. It's the best one of the lot. It drives me sooooo crazy that I can't use it in texts etc. Hmm

Pascha · 30/11/2013 10:03

Hmm is how I imagine I look at least 60% of the time. I like him very much. He is very me.

I find Grin far to try hard and cheesy though, unless I am really laughing.

KeepingUpWithTheJonses · 30/11/2013 10:04

It's not sad Hmm

It's the artistic version of 'prick' IMO

Pascha · 30/11/2013 10:04

How is it sad, Fut?

Sparklingbrook · 30/11/2013 10:05

I use it for tutting about DSs, as in 'DS left his towel on the floor, expects me to pick it up Hmm so indicating 'flippin teenager',

But try not to use it at another poster.

Confused generally sums it up.

Bowlersarm · 30/11/2013 10:06

It does the trick then. I assume the whole point would be to get the back up of the person it's aimed at.

I hate the biscuit thingy. I don't really get what that's all about, except that it's an insult.

bundaberg · 30/11/2013 10:06

i love it! it's my fave. i wish it was on facebook too as I often have need of it

KeepingUpWithTheJonses · 30/11/2013 10:07

Biscuit to me says 'Calm down dear. You fucking hysterical wench'.

Very patronising. Buy yet so often appropriate.

DameFanny · 30/11/2013 10:08

Hmm is my favourite

I tend to use Grin more than Smile because Smile seems PA for some reason

Hmm
Bowlersarm · 30/11/2013 10:11

Oh I thought Biscuit was more "you are being so unbelievably rude/arrogant/arsey/ridiculous/whatever I can't be doing with you any more, you really take the biscuit"

Upcycled · 30/11/2013 10:12

I was thought that Biscuit meant fuck off...
Not sure why?

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 30/11/2013 10:13

i can do the arsey face RL, although for its not arsey, its bemused.

drbonnieblossman · 30/11/2013 10:33

I am new here, and I thought Biscuit meant " Just going to sit back, have a biccy and watch the shit hit the fan on this thread".

But I know nothing about these things.

sandfrog · 30/11/2013 10:37

You could make whole sentences just of emoticons.

Cake Envy Cake Smile Thanks

Biscuit Shock Angry Hmm Brew Smile

BlackholesAndRevelations · 30/11/2013 10:40

I love it! I too wish it was on texts and Facebook, same with Confused

mrsjay · 30/11/2013 10:45

oh Confused is my favourite as i am often Confused so use Confused all the time Grin

mrsjay · 30/11/2013 10:46

I hardly ever use Hmm though

MsJupiterJones · 30/11/2013 11:45

I thought the biscuit was 'no comment', as in Gordon Brown.

I wish the emoticons on the app matched the website. I do get confused between Hmm and Sad.

Also I think they should be women.

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 30/11/2013 12:10

I like Hmm and to me it really does say Hmm

I don't like Grin it looks manic rather than grinning.

And we just don't see enough Bear I might just start using him at random.

Trills · 30/11/2013 12:11

I hate this one :(

It is toooooo sad.

If it were yellow it would be OK. Just a bit sad.

The blue is too sad and makes me think that you are massively over-egging it when you use it.
