To think MN would be better off without that stupid quirked eyebrow face

[Sandsnake]

For want of a better title and semi 'lighthearted' (boak). AIBU to be totally at ? It's just so bloody snarky seeming. I see it all the time on threads where posters can't be bothered to actually articulate their problem with the poster / thread so just leave that passive aggressive instead. I'm sure it does have its place but it just seems so over-used at the moment and seems to add a confrontational edge to threads where that's just not needed.

That's it really! Fully expecting all the inevitable faces in reply...

yy agree if you get a you're in deep doo doo

I call troll - no-one can have a problem with HMM!

It's one of those emoticons where it's really annoying if it's used against you and really satisfying to use against someone else

this!!!!

I like it. It means "shut it, troll" in my head.

I love it, it's my favourite emoticon

YABU

I used to be on a forum yonks ago where an emoticons eyes actually used to roll! Argh! Hammer to Screen

I frequently look for on my iPhone emoticons and get annoyed that it's not there. It should be universal, it's the best emoticon ever.

SleepFreeZone - that's what I mean, it's not the in itself it's more how it's often used that I'm a bit about.

Pipsqueak - you're right, I literally have nothing more important to think about. For months now I have spent every waking hour consumed by thoughts of . In fact, they had something on the news about Syria last night and I thought 'well their situation's not ideal, but it's not exactly as important as people on MN using is it...'.

Seconded the middle finger emoticon. Does what it says on the tin!

Slightly off topic- why are they called emoticons? I said emoticon the other day and my teens laughed at me for being old and said they were emojis.

Obviously I said I got it from Mumsnet so it couldn't be wrong but I need a better explanation.

I presumed emotion icons?

No idea about emoji!

sand i'm refering to fuckoff book, twitter and that shite, mn can be constructive.

I love it personally. Its my favourite thing about mumsnet.

I am off to save it as an image so I can use it on facebook.

Agree with pip. All the faces look the same to me! I've never really thought about them... The only thing I hate is a friend who often adds an uphappy face to the end of texts. It somehow, passive aggressively, implies that something I've done has caused her apparent unhappiness.

"you're right, I literally have nothing more important to think about. For months now I have spent every waking hour consumed by thoughts of hmm. In fact, they had something on the news about Syria last night and I thought 'well their situation's not ideal, but it's not exactly as important as people on MN using hmm is it...'."

Haha, I loved this. Epic.

Fucking bold fail.

is my favourite MN emoji
I wish I could make my face do it irl

Emoji > emotion + moji (Japanese for letter/character/symbol)

Oh sorry not emotion!
e > picture + moji (letter)

And pronounced eh-moji, not ee-moji

I use when I'm lost for words, here and in real life.

Or rather, when the words that come to my mind are best kept inside.

My mum pronounces them eye-mojis
She's an eye-diot

is great. Not as great as , though...

It's my fave face. I wish I could quirk an eyebrow irl I'd do it all the time.
