To ask what the emoji's mean on MN?

[Bbq1]

I've been on MN a while now but don't really understand the meaning of the emoj's that people use. Mainly the yellow flower, bouquet of flowers, the bottle and the chocolate although there are others too. What do they signify and are they mostly meant to be sarcastic? Genuine question.

Only the is sarcastic.

The rest are what you think they are.

The yellow flower was during the teacher bashing threads..

The bouquet is just nice.

I thought the yellow flower was meant to be a jammy dodger biscuit!

This is a biscuit, and it means "Well, what you just said takes the biscuit" which means, very sarcastically, you get the prize for the most outrageous comment of the day. It means another poster was out of order.
People say.. here have my first sometimes.

is this the yellow flower? No idea what that means.

This is meant to be the pub sign for The Bull, the fictional pub in the Archers. I did once know but I have forgotten why that one was created.

can mean green with envy or, more usually you will see - not envy! meaning I have a green face now because someone posted something gross and I feel sick

is the best.

Pom bear anyone?

That's not what it means.

🍘 I used to see this one loads on MN. Haven't seen it for a while. I never knew what it meant or even what it's a picture of

That's terribly sad about Zombie but what does the bottle actually mean when people use it now on threads?

I didn’t know that about the link... when I’ve used it or seen it deployed I’ve used/interpreted as “have some gin”. (I’ve only been on here a couple of years tho)

@strawberryplanting what does the biscuit mean for you?

Have seen Pom Bears mentioned on here a lot! Thanks for the link, I will read it.

I thought the gun just got introduced because we were all gin guzzling at the time and nagged mnhq. Didn’t realise it was related to poor Zombie,
are genuinely meant as a bit of kindness.
usually means you’re talking bollocks/ not falling for it/ nice try gf (goady fucker)
is my favourite.

Gin not gun

was used by teachers, I believe, in solidarity of each other on any perceived teacher bashing threads (saw a lot of in the earlier parts of covid re “lack of zoom classes” type threads etc & someone else started a thread to ask what meant & that was the answer) Not sure if that’s the original meaning?

I think the was introduced because the Welsh were revolting.
