I TOLD you all, i WARNED you about this light frickin hearted thing

[BrendaandEddie]

Unless we stand up to this menace, will we have tickers, people signing off posts with frickin KISSES and the word ' hubby' and ' LOS' used.

There's sank rotten in the state of Denmark.

I just cant be bothered to learn the codes for all those emojis. Back when I was young and MN didn't have adverts we celebrated Christmas versions of our beloved , [hmm[, a bit like a sort of pagan festival.

Now emojis breed like rabbits. Its not the same anymore. Its like when TV had 3 channels and now we have 3000 - its worse and I cant work the remote.

Maybe, but I'm not giving my computer up for anybody.

Why is there a pineapple?

Gaargh!!!

whatevs

Perhaps we should call the OP, dOP

Surely, though, DH, DD etc are meant ironically? Agree with the rest, though. Hun.

Look we established hun was offensive to Germans and northern Irish protestants a few weeks ago.... Let's not start that again! [Grin] (lighthearted, OK hun?)

I don't read DH as "dear husband" just as "my husband". Similar with DD.

DD2 means "my second-oldest daughter".
DD19 PROBABLY means "My daughter who is 19" rather than "my nineteenth daughter".

The D just makes it clear you're using a code rather than writing a letter.

Maryz I like emoji in texts etc but they are a bit silly here. MN can't control how they will show up - they will show differently to people on different computer or different phones. So people posting them don't know what they will look like for the people seeing them, so they won't necessarily make the same impression.

at hitting the ticker button 'by accident'.

I'm afraid l hate the fecking emoji too. But l REALLY hate that my phone doesn't do this face as the amount of times it literally sums up how I'm feeling was quite a revelation to me.

ODFOH, LOL x

Trills - There's ALWAYS a pineapple.

Anyway, I can't get worked up about it TBH. Soooooo many things have changed round ere that it's pretty much unrecognisable from the Old place - and such is life.

It's really bugging me what that GIF is from. Is it pirates of the Caribbean?

Emojis belong in texts and hotmail conversations.

I spend some time trying to wipe off a bit of dirt on the screen the other day, only to realise it was some strange kind of emoji.

this is the only emoji we need

maybe this occasionally [[http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01564/terry-wogan-trouse_1564455i.jpg]]

I was so hoping that was what you'd posted Pantone!

Noooooo

This obviously

Scary, panatone!

Mmmmm panatone (homer) (Simpson, not the original as I am dumbed down)

Now that is scary Trills.

Can't stand the bloody 'lighthearted' thing. It does seem it's necessary at times though as you see it all the time: someone will start a thread that's obviously tongue in cheek and there will always be someone who wants to start a bun fight because they haven't the wit to see that the posters being ironic.

Wouldn't have happened in the old days.
