The "envy" one will do in a pinch, but is open to misinterpretation.

This is a site where 95% of the conversation features poo, vomit and variants thereof. OTOH we're rarely jealous of one another. Come on MNHQ. Sort it.

If you're going to have vomit then you'll have to have a shiney turd emoticon, then an emoticon weeing, then an emoticon ejaculating. It's a slippery slope, I tell you (after all that wee and jizz it will be damn slippery). It will end in an emoticon in the crowning stage, and no one wants to see that.

It's cos of the emetophobes IIRC

Hassled Mm, I see your point, but we do need all of those too. Crowning emoticon could just be Angry though.

OliviaAhh. Mind you, if you have bad enough trypophobia then Biscuit and Shock are a worry, surely? And don't even get me started on anthophobia and jophaboia.

Will stop now as I'm being a twat. Grin

I also think it had to do with the fact that covered it a lot better than a little smiley ever could.

I'd like a sticky out tongue smiley
