This last month I’ve noticed these particular two emojis posted regularly, usually on the end of ‘hun’ type nonsense.

AIBU to hate them?

Yabu for letting it get to you 😘 (Sorry couldn't resist)

I don't like hun either but I think the emojis do have a time and a place and can be used sarcastically too which is always fun!!

🤔

steff13 · 18/02/2019 00:10

I just discovered legolas 🧝 I use him a lot.

🙄 Is my favorite though.

RomaineCalm · 18/02/2019 00:15

I like 😊 and use it a lot because it's not as 'try hard' as 😀 or 😃 or 😄.

I wish there was a FB emoji like these: BlushConfusedHmm.

Also like 🤓🤔🙄 but still not the same as the MN ones.

I hate this one!!! 🤷‍♀️. It makes the person read as really dim! And a bit useless. Hate it.

Oysterbabe · 18/02/2019 00:20

I usually use 😘 when I've made a cheeky or sarcastic comment to someone so they know it's a joke and I love them really. I use it like I used to use winky face.

elasticfantastic · 18/02/2019 00:22

I use 🤷🏻‍♀️ as "I don't give a shit!" So I like that one!

🦖 I recently discovered t-Rex which I love... just because, well it's a T-Rex emoji... what's not to love! 🦖🦖🦖🦖😁

Insomnibrat · 18/02/2019 00:26

The moment a man uses this --> 😜 he goes down a fair way in my estimation. Shudder.

Name7 · 18/02/2019 00:33

Don’t you think 🤷‍♀️ Comes across as very rude though? I agree with auntiepatricia
I also cannot stand 😂 but I quite like 😏

Lovingbenidorm · 18/02/2019 00:37

🤓 this one looks like my husband

cheaperthebetter · 18/02/2019 01:16

This is my favourite...🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️...it is so me...😆..(duh)

LadyOfTheCanyon · 18/02/2019 06:54

🐕💨
Farting dog has its uses. 😀

ComeOnGordon · 18/02/2019 06:58

I’ve got an agin about the 😘 one since my ex used it excessively in the messages I found that he’d sent to the OW. Never had him as an emoji user till then.

So I’ve taken to using 🥰 instead

2cats2many · 18/02/2019 07:01

Not sure what this one is supposed go say.
😤

LooseSeal2 · 18/02/2019 07:02

😂🤔🙄😳😱🤷🏻‍♀️

SparkiePolastri · 18/02/2019 07:07

I have no problem with 😊 and 😘

☺️ and 🙂 on the other hand. Can't quite pinpoint my issue with the first one other than its simpering, pleased with itself smugness.

As for the second one and its tight little Presbyterian smile - if you're going to smile, then SMILE, mate - it doesn't actually cost you anything, so crack a big one or go home.

🥳

IndianaMoleWoman · 18/02/2019 07:17

Our local hun crowd are all about 😤 (when they are FUMMIN hun) and 👏 usually when someone shares a long ranting post about being a strong independent mummy because their DC have feckless dads and/or anything that starts with the phrase ‘I’m not racist, but...’

LadyOfTheCanyon · 18/02/2019 08:57

Actually the emoji I hate most is 🙏🏻
It gets a big 🖕🏼from me.

Shookethtothecore · 18/02/2019 09:01

#familytime #makingmememories #blessed hun 😊😘

hazeyjane · 18/02/2019 09:17

I find every time I try and use an emoji it feels like I am being sarcastic.
😊(oh yeah....this is a genuine smile, honestly....I'm really pleased for you)
😁(ooh look at how fucking kerrrrazy I am)
☹(so sad...boo hoo)
Etc
....see. Emojis make me into arsehole 🤗(You have always been an arsehole, Hazey....fucking jazz hands)

About the only one I use is 🍑💨 (peach fart) which is a dd2 favourite.

NCjustforthisthread · 18/02/2019 09:24

I use these a lot: 😱 and 🤮 and 👍🏻 And 🙅🏻‍♀️. I don’t know why but all seem negative except the thumbs up one 😂. I hate 🤤. It just looks crude!

Newsername · 18/02/2019 09:25

I do peach fart. I also do this: 🚶‍♀️🌬

I love 😂🤣😆🙄😒😱🧐🤦‍♀️❤️

I always use 😊😘 for my family, nieces, dd and my friends dds. Don’t see the problem.

Newsername · 18/02/2019 09:27

Oh forgot my other favourite one:

🖕

steff13 · 18/02/2019 20:30

I like this one 🤷‍♀️.

For instance, when there's a thread where the AIBU is something like, "to not understand why some people like ?" Then the appropriate response is, "YABU, because as an adult you should understand that not everyone has the same taste as you. 🤷‍♀️"

See, perfect response. 😎🦖🧝

RedWineIsFabulous · 18/02/2019 20:32

😘😊😘😊😘 to you op 😘😘😘😘
