Could we please have a sarcasm emoji

As the title says can we please have an emoji to represent sarcasm

I have seen Hmm used and Confused but as they have other meanings it would be nice to have just a sarky one

Its been on a fair few threads recently that a poster is being sarky and other posters have taken them literally

Which personally i find quite funny, but clarity on some of the more emotive threads would probably be more useful than entertainment for me

Please and thank you

Yes, let's (I mean that, not being sarky)

A sugar cube would be a good sarcasm emoji....

Oh god

I know you agree...but im not going to be able to tell if other posters agree without the emoji

I hate this one Hmm. It's so passive aggressive.

gudrunandtheseeress · 12/12/2018 08:49

A sugar cube because it's sweet and you don't mean it Grin

I think if you have to have an emoji to show you are being sarcastic then you sarcasm isn't too good.
I got deleted for being sarcastic once. Apparently if I had put a smiley at the end it would have been fine. Confused

This smiley Hmm is the best one and I could really do with it for RL.

Wouldn't disagree per se

But i did see a poster yesterday very much on side A of a debate be a bit sarky and another poster...obviously also on side A of a debate was having a right go

Twas funny...and served the first poster right for being silly

OP posts:
Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 12/12/2018 09:57

Im very sarky in real life

But not on here...too scared Grin

Oh yes 😏 is good too.

Just infringe Apple copyright @mnhq Wink They’ll be too busy to notice.

Sparklingbrook · 12/12/2018 10:00

Just don't post 'You must be very proud' without a smiley. Wink

The poster I was being sarky to was deleted and banned eventually so I feel my deletion didin't actually count.
