And although I do not wish to kill off the Christmas spirit, it fits in very well with my feelings towards the election result.

I'm fond of this one: 🤷

If that emoji ‘spoke for itself’ you wouldn’t have needed to tell us it represented your feelings about the election.

Grin will always be my number one.

Grin is the very best.

I've never been sure what that monkey one means.

Can someone enlighten me?

That’s a person, not a monkey......ConfusedWink

steff13 · 14/12/2019 15:27

It's not a monkey, it's a woman, and she's throwing her hands up, in an "I don't know" posture. I use it sarcastically mostly, but also when I genuinely don't know something.

Ah.

I have now enlarged the "monkey" emoji and I concede that it is, in fact, a woman throwing up her hands.

I always think the woman with her hands up looks like a woman jumping out of a cardboard box...."Surprise!" 🤣

@TheNameGames

Thank you so much for your assistance.

I can't get most of the emojis in any case. My laptop only has a limited selection available. Hmm

That face always looks so cross Hmm

I dunno, NameGanes.

There is a short list of "smiley hints" available. No monkeys.
