to have thought that the biscuit emoji was a sunflower

[EleanorShellstrop100]

and always wondered why people post sunflowers when other posters are being goady?

All this time.

What an idiot.

- I mean seriously

Ha!

How old were you when realised that the biscuit emoji wasn't a sunflower?

Me "my age in years, days and minutes minus 1 minute"

Did you see the thread where a poster wanted to show off her baby after a long time struggling?

Gorgeous little baby, everyone posting congratulations and flowers, and one poster posted three biscuits. Just three biscuits, no words. She came back to the thread later to say she'd mistaken them for flowers, so it's not only you

D'oh!

I've always imagined it as a 'Jammie Dodger'

I've seen new members mistakenly offer a biscuit to OPs in distress, thinking they are a comforting thing like .

for you

No problem OP, I used to think the turd emoji was the head of a brown hen. There.

I used to think they were gerberas. And I still don’t know exactly what they mean.

Haha

I see it as a jammie dodger too

I name changed because there was a really genuinely long sad post made by someone and I didn't know what to say so just wanted to offer comfort so posted on its own (and worse, it was the first reply). I still wince to this day at the accidental offence caused to that poster and the angry replies directed at me.

For years I thought the symbol on the mug was a cannabis leaf and it was a sign for 'Chill, relax'

Apparently it's the mumsnet logo. Still looks like a cannabis leaf to me though.

Me too SleepnWorkn.😎

I always thought it was supposed to be a flower, but it was a MN in-joke to call it a biscuit because it looks like a jammie dodger.

Aw OP Should have gone to specsavers

I still don't know what the biscuit means

The came to be the universal symbol for “no comment” after a notorious q&a with Gordon Brown in which several MNers repeatedly asked him what his favourite biscuit was as a bit of a laugh and he repeatedly declined to answer, indicating his lack of personality. Or something. And it became a bit of a thing on a number of subsequent threads.

It always reminds me of a pineapple ring with a cherry in the middle!

That’s a biscuit?! Omg 🤣 i thought it was a flower!

Yes me too. Like the bottom of an upside pineapple cake.

Omg. I thought it was for calling someone a tit.

I also thought it was a flower OP! And have been so confused until now!

I thought it was a nipple and they were calling the OP a tit.
