We're frequently being reminded that MN is a 'forum for support' and there is nothing supportive about this face Hmm

I love the 💩!

It's just a turd, plain and simple. No nasty undertones, it just is what it is.

It's the best humpty wee face on the internet.

I remember when Flowers used to be Thanks

Justanothersingledoutnumber · 25/05/2017 20:36

ah.... [ flowers] used to be [ thanks]

It depends on the context:

"DH fishes his dirty pants out of the washing basket, as he says the dirt drops off after a while Hmm"

"I don't believe a word you are saying, OP Hmm".

MNHQ should just treat the latter as troll hunting or a personal attack.

BadTasteFlump · 25/05/2017 20:37

Exactly sitting.

So on that basis -AIBU?

In my mind:
Flowers means "sending love, but we can't say that because it's Mumsnet".

YABU. I like it. Hmm

PavlovianLunge · 25/05/2017 20:39

If Hmm goes, we'll always have o_O

Wolfiefan · 25/05/2017 20:39

I want Blush on my phone. I use it a lot! Grin

I think you ABU, but we should report any Hmm that is not posted with supportive intentions, and MNHQ should delete the Hmm where appropriate.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 25/05/2017 20:41

Why aren't you supportive of this guy Hmm?
Hmm

ScarlettFreestone · 25/05/2017 20:45

Well it's considerably politer than saying "bollocks".

I don't think that "supportive" should mean "you can spout any nonsense you want and we'll all nod and say there, there"

LilaoftheGreenwood · 25/05/2017 20:45

I LOVE the Hmm and I have been known to copy and paste it into emails.

Highalert · 25/05/2017 20:46

Crown hes the king of MN. Proper Royalty
Hmm

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 25/05/2017 20:46

I love Hmm and often look for it when using text etc - I really wish my phone had it!

liquidrevolution · 25/05/2017 20:48
Hmm

I love it so much I would pay to install it on my phone. Perhaps mumsnet could raise some funds that way and do away with the annoying adverts?

CherieBabySpliffUp · 25/05/2017 20:49

Noo, they can't take away the Hmm face. I need the Hmm face on Facebook, it's fab Grin

MrsChopper · 25/05/2017 20:52

OP, I fear you must have had too much sunshine. It's clearly the best emoji ever Hmm

MrsMachin · 25/05/2017 20:53

I feel like Hmm is MN in an emoji.

Embarrassing when you type one too many M's though and end up with something like: "Then XH agreed with MIL [hmmmm]" Blush
