Darling MNHQ, please, please, please could you arrange for the Biscuit Emoticon to fucking do one?

[HoneyDragon]

Really, please, just make it go.

If people don't wish to comment, than they can simply

Not write anything at all

Or it's meant to be sneery.

Or someone misunderstands it and offers it nicely with tea. And then gets flounced at with impunity. As no one really knows whether it's offensive or not.

In fact there are so many interpretations of what the biscuit means according to each individual, that technically you could probably have an entire thread using only the biscuit, with each poster making a unique comment.

There's another election due soon, it stopped being ironic and funny about 5 months after the thread that birthed it.

Seriously, just retire it.

I'm sick of trying to figure out why someone may have posted a biscuit. Post something clever, post something stupid. But don't post Gordens fucking biscuit

Maybe a garibaldi for when the thread is about anything forrin?

I thought it was a boob!

I have never understood the use of the biscuit.

Hi HoneyDragon, hi all,

Just so you know, we are listening - though it's hard to hear what you're saying above all the munching here at MNHQ

Please do keep the suggestions coming - we're open to possibilities! Though not quite sure what the meaning of a tiramisu emoticon could possibly be, Wolfiefan ...

If they've got the munchies...

...hmmm...

No More Emoticons! Just drop the biscuit. Pleeeeeease.

I'm not averse to begging, now I know you are listening.
I'd offer behaving, but we all know that ain't gonna happen. But I will beg.

We still need vomit.

Tiggy

You cannot infer MNHQ are bunch of gin swigging stoners.

It not polite.

It might be true. But it's not polite.

Why did they delete that bong emoticon?

Because they thought it was a pink two headed elephant?

While you're listening MNHQ - the green 'envy' face is represented as a green heart on the Ipad app. Confuses the hell out of me that does.

We really really need a vom face emoticon though.

I quite like the jammy dodger though, although I think those who use it for passive aggressive purposes are just... silly or lacking imagination.

The seasonal emoticons are often the weirdest looking things.

Mmmm! Biscuits!

Please can we just rename envy to vom, I'm sure that would be more relevant.

But how will we make boobies with no biscuit emoticon?

And do you remember when they accidentally put that message up: "Mumsnet offline to visit our dealer. We'll be back whenever man."

(.) (.)

Same way as every other 10 yo boy does on the Internet?

How about a wooden spoon or a billy goat emoticon?

He'll eat them all

I agree: get shot of Gordon's Biscuit and introduce VomFace.

Already covered that Purple.

I don't expect MNHQ to do everything

I agree honeydragon, let's lose the biscuit. It's not nice nor helpful.

Suggestions

Vom
Faints

I want to say hugs, but I haven't been around too long too understand why you have to say 'un mumsnetty hugs'? I don't know if I got that right?

We are hard added straight talking vipers who don't do hugs when we think people are looking

*assed

It's the fumes from MNTowers ..... I think I've got blowback high.
