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

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 Angry

Hi HoneyDragon, hi all,

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

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 ...

Well, can't change the biscuit into a random something else - that wouldn't make any sense imho - at least there is some rationale for the biscuit. We could retire it from the list of emoticons showing - so only those really in know would use - but that would prob cause even more confusion.

So our choices are to disable entirely or to offer a bit more explanation/historical context so more folks understand it's provenance/usage...
