Hmm. I see it on nearly every thread. I don't even know what the hell it means but I fucking hate it.

Am I alone on this?

It mean the same as raising an eyebrow

StealthPolarBear · 24/11/2017 23:17

Sort if sceptical /teenage /sarcastic

UterusUterusGhali · 24/11/2017 23:18

I love it!

I wish I could do exactly that face irl.

SoupDragon · 24/11/2017 23:19

Meh. We all hate something that doesn't bother other people. I hate swearing in user names for example.

TheFallenMadonna · 24/11/2017 23:20

I have just used it! It is supposed to denote scepticism. I was raising an eyebrow at John Humphries. It is one of my favourite facial expressions, so I am rather fond of it in emotional form too.

Because I am old school I always type it out the hmm too. It is satisfying.

MunchMunch · 24/11/2017 23:20

It’s a hmmmm face so you’d be sceptical/raise an eyebrow.

I like that emoji

TheFallenMadonna · 24/11/2017 23:20

emoji form

Hmm
MaisyPops · 24/11/2017 23:22

I love it.
It conveys sarcasm ahd skepticism quite well.

It's perfect for those threads that go like this:
OP - AIBU
Mumsnet - yes
OP - no I'm not
Mumsnet - You are
OP - I'M NOT but knew you'd all be mean. Insert some massive or irrelevant drip feed
Mumsnet - you're still being unreasonable
Random poster - omg you're so awful everyone. OP YANBU at all. Ignore the bitches.
OP - thank you cheerleader I'm so glad I've got at least one supportive person who can be bothered to actually read the thread.

It says a thousand words. Grin V useful on here.

My most hated one isn't a MN one, it's the crying with laughter one.

Claireshh · 24/11/2017 23:27

I hate this one. 🤗 So smug. Actually I hate this one too for the same reason ☺️

MaisyPops · 24/11/2017 23:28

My most hated one is Biscuit
Don't know why. Just when I see it it makes me think Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2017 23:28

The one with hearts for eyes is particularly Hmm.

CourtneyLoveIsMySpiritAnimal · 24/11/2017 23:29

Its my favourite emoji ever.

iPhone now has something similar but not quite as good

🤨

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/11/2017 23:30

I like it. It definitely has its place.

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2017 23:31

Aww no, All I can see is a square Courtney. Sad

MissClareRemembers · 24/11/2017 23:31

I love it. In fact I spend most of my days mentally pulling the same face at colleagues!

shittyshitybangbang · 24/11/2017 23:32

What about this one Confused.

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2017 23:33

Nothing wrong with Confused it's a confused face.

Any that you like OP? How about Xmas Grin or Bear

MissClareRemembers · 24/11/2017 23:34

Oh and I hate the Biscuit one. But only because if there’s any justice in the world, a biscuit should look like this: 🍪

CourtneyLoveIsMySpiritAnimal · 24/11/2017 23:34

Here you go sparkling

It was on the last update. Not as good as the MN Hmm

I hate this emoji
RJnomore1 · 24/11/2017 23:35

These two are my face in rl 99.9% of the time:

Hmm😕

QueenArseClangers · 24/11/2017 23:35

No, the worst one (if you’re including ones on iPhones) is this bastard 🤣

Fucking hate the sideways crying twat. He’s a dick.

Owletterocks · 24/11/2017 23:35

We need a mumsnet specific eyeroll emoji. It's my favourite one 🙄

Maplestaple · 24/11/2017 23:35

HmmHmmHmm

I love it!

HmmHmmHmm

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2017 23:35

Ooh that's quite a good one Courtney, a kind of raised eyebrow.
