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

I Hmm reading about how an op was being treated. It was how I reacted to reading the person's behaviour towards the op. I was thinking 'I wouldn't stand for that if it were me'. I don't think op is/was a troll.
I think Biscuit is unsupportive and usually means posters think op is a troll/GF.

I hate the humphy face and I also hate the strike through

There's a reason why we're frequently reminded. Grin

Vipers need Hmm

OlennasWimple · 25/05/2017 21:46

I love it - YABU!

Viviennemary · 25/05/2017 21:56

That's my favourite face. It says such a lot. And this too. Bear

FlapAttack88 · 25/05/2017 21:57

Hmm it's the best face

AfunaMbatata · 25/05/2017 21:58

I love Hmm face , I imagine it in RL.

MaisyPops · 25/05/2017 22:00

I like theHmm face.

It's good for sarcasm, for showing you think someone is being ridiculous, for adding humour to a story (e.g. DH actually thought this was a good idea Hmm)

Personally I'd rather get rid of the Biscuit which is just used to subtly troll hunt or is ridiculous and translates as 'I don't agree with you so I'll throw a biscuit at you rather than discuss it as adults'

pictish · 25/05/2017 22:02

No. It's my personal favourite.
If you can't stand the heat...

FreeSpiritJen · 25/05/2017 22:03

Hmm is my fave smilie.

user1471545174 · 25/05/2017 22:04

I love Hmm even though I never use it.

This one Grin scares me Grin.

NorksAreMessy · 25/05/2017 22:04

I think I use Hmm more than any of the others.
Usually when I think " I have just read a load of old nonsense"

ShelaghTurner · 25/05/2017 22:06

Totally love Hmm Would pay good money to have it on my phone too. And also Blush. The phone blush emojis ☺️😊 are 💩

MoonlightandMusic · 25/05/2017 22:09

YABU - besides, if you give Hmm Cake & Wine or Gin it magically turns into Grin Grin. Grin

MoonlightandMusic · 25/05/2017 22:10

Oops, there should have been a comma after the Hmm. Blush

FuckingDingDong · 25/05/2017 22:12

Ok so it's not just unsupportive - it's the most annoying face I've ever seen and makes me want to punch something.
That's the whole point of the Hmm face. Hmm

👿👿👻🐧🐝🦄

histinyhandsarefrozen · 25/05/2017 22:14

It has been an essential tool in the brexit debates.

But I love Grin so many teeth!

DancingLedge · 25/05/2017 22:14

HmmHmm

(so good I did it twice)

keeplooking · 25/05/2017 22:24

Maybe we ought to put Hmm (supportive) in the way that people add (lighthearted) after a controversial thread title.

SleightOfHand · 25/05/2017 22:40

londonrach now you're just showing off.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 25/05/2017 22:41

🤔

(Testing if phone emojis work on MN)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 25/05/2017 22:42

Oh and yes they do awesome 😄

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 25/05/2017 22:55

I love Hmm!!

I do hate the passive-aggressive bollocks use of "HTH" though. Can we get rid of that instead? Wink

NorksAreMessy · 25/05/2017 22:59

Envy is NEVER used for envy, it is ALWAYS used for VOM!
The 'official' meaning needs to be changed.
