MN needs this smiley.

I think many of us have a deep need for this smiley. It could, quite honestly, change our MN lives [deadpan]

A [sarcastic] one would be v useful too.

_

bemused and/or drunk

really it needs to be [deadpan/sarcastic]

That would be the perfect one. Laborious to keep typing out though.

I got it Eleison --> for AtYourCervix

omg [historical shock]

all these years I've been thinking a wimple was a hennin.

Thank you for putting me straight Nancy [sweet smile that on the outside looks like I am really grateful and happy to be corrected but secretly inside I'm simmering with rage and shame and I'm going to bear a colossal grudge from henceforth]

Haha at the shameful wimple/hennin confusion. Capt has saved you from making an awful fool of yourself at future jousting tournaments slubber.

This is true. Imagine the mortification if you strutted onto a princesses in pointy hats thread flashing your [wimple] all about only to be told that flat headgear was simple not on.

So I should really thank you Nancy
[dazzling enforced smile]

mary there is one poster on mn who is the Yoda of the [passive-aggressive smile].

My emoticon wishlist is

[snurk]
[gavel]

and

[what the fuck are you on about you loon?]

I agree that emoticon use needs to be more strictly enforced.

One out one in policy has been mentioned.

We could easily lose the and , not keen on the would change for or perhaps [lindt]

[tilts head]

at emoticon enforcement.

Go on, punk, make my day.

[Finger on trigger waiting for emoticon-happy felon to give me an excuse to fire]

i'd rather like a [stop talking bollox] because i'm too nice to actually say it often.

also [fuck off]

and [i don't care]

most importantly

also [tired] [knackered] [exhausted] or [lazy]

We don't need any more pissing emoticons and we certainly don't need whatever random beverage someone has decided they need this week. FFS. It's all Too Much.

[smug] would get a lot of exercise on MN, surely?

Especially on the Gifted and Talented threads.

[all too much]

no

the only emoticon I would like is

[did you know if you type how you are feeling between two square barckets all that is really happening is you are giving yourself the extra work of putting a word between two brackets and not actually conveying your emotoinal status any more clearly than if you had typed the word alone or maybe even put the word I'm in front of it, which I suppose is three key strokes what with the apostrophe so I should probably shut up now]

I think the following should go:

I think the non-face emoticons that are inspired by threads (eg: tea, pombear, biscuit) should be secret ones that you have to find, if we must have them at all.

And why has the mug got a cannabis leaf on it?

I think we have enough faces.
