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

Hmm Hth
BastardBloodAndSand · 25/05/2017 23:14

I love Hmm even if he is a patronising wanker.

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

Was there a different emoji to send wishes, show handholding?

EnidButton · 25/05/2017 23:29

I love the Hmm face. It accurately represents how I look when reading about 60% of the posts on MN and 99% of the posts in AIBU.

EnidButton · 25/05/2017 23:30

I like a strike through too

Biscuit this is shit though.

RJnomore1 · 25/05/2017 23:35

Enid I was just about to post it. This is the actual look on my face Hmm

ohforfoxsake · 25/05/2017 23:36

Oh FFS it's the most useful Hmm

Run4Fun · 25/05/2017 23:37

I didn't know HTH was passive aggressive or Envy means vomit.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/05/2017 23:37

It's punctuation and I bet 50p it's been around on MN a LOT longer than you have op.

Hmm
mctat · 25/05/2017 23:38

'I love  and 

And also '

YES! They are just so like the faces would be.

RustyPaperclip · 25/05/2017 23:38

I often wish my phone had ConfusedHmm

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/05/2017 23:38

Punctuation for me... not actual punctuation of course.

mctat · 25/05/2017 23:39

Well Blush - the emoticons were cut out of my quotation HmmConfused

dontbesillyhenry · 25/05/2017 23:40

He's a sarky little shite this one HmmHmm

Sparklingbrook · 25/05/2017 23:45

You wouldn't need the Hmm face if people stopped posting all the Hmm stuff. It's the best one.

They should get rid of the PA Smile face.

EnidButton · 25/05/2017 23:50

RJ Is that biscuit for me? 😱

Shelagh I didn't realise they were blush faces. I thought they were really happy smiles. I've been posting them on things they had no business being on. Blush (

Didactylos · 25/05/2017 23:51

I pretty much wear the Hmm face in real life
Its about the only emoji I use, and I am Hmm that my phone doesnt have it

mummabearfoyrbabybears · 25/05/2017 23:53

But in response some threads a Hmm really does say it all.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 25/05/2017 23:55

I like the chewy wee face best. Confused Humpy wee face is a git. Hmm I'd like to see which one would win if they had a fight.

EnidButton · 25/05/2017 23:55

My phone has this 🙄 Which is useful.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 25/05/2017 23:59

I don't like this dickheadHalo

e1y1 · 26/05/2017 00:02

But how else are we supposed to show disgust, dismay, judging and aggression in just one small emoticon?

AIBU is, to be honest, the bear pit. There are sections of the site that are supportive.

PickAChew · 26/05/2017 00:03

You only object to Hmm if you have something to hide.

PickAChew · 26/05/2017 00:04

And yes, Hmm pretty much sums up my natural resting bitch face :o

doubleshotespresso · 26/05/2017 00:08

Now you see Hmm is my most favourite!

I call this the Judge Judy emoji

Agree with other posters, sometimes nothing else really makes the point as well as Hmm

FWIW my pet peeve here is lighthearted. Those threads never end up that way....
