Oooooh yes! I cannot imagine MN without the now. What would it look like?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 17/11/2008 18:01

Ah well, now you have me there.

It would have to be a kind of [shrug]

MostlyReindeer · 17/11/2008 18:03

I imagine one side of the mouth up and one eyebrow.... maybe that's abit [bovvered] though.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 17/11/2008 18:09

Dragonbutter · 17/11/2008 23:00

I know I don't get out much but how is it that I have never heard or seen this new word? How can it have got into the dictionary without me having come across it once?

Oh, I know, I talk to people who can use real words to describe things...

Meh, as it is described in the article will IMO be used to dismiss people as [yawn] is used now. Why would we want to do that? There are many emoticaons that could add tone to a post making them easier to read and understand. This is not one of them.

UnquietDad · 17/11/2008 23:07

It's not really a word, it's a sort of sound.

NCbirdy · 17/11/2008 23:15

A dismissive sound?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 17/11/2008 23:23

I am not listening to NCbirdy

[sticks out tongue emoticon]

NCbirdy · 17/11/2008 23:38

Like I would care

[sticks nose in air emoticon]

(which is difficult 'cause it is always fairly skyward)

Oh BOYS, you know how I love to magic things up for you, but we're busy frying some big fish at the moment. And besides, MN emoticons are utterly immutable.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 18/11/2008 00:04

Ooooh spill about your frying fish or is it hush hush ????

What's this? Hush your mouth YetMoreTech - any more leaking of our secret new design plans and we'll have to take you out and shoot you!

NCbirdy · 18/11/2008 16:45

The new design involves fried fish then Justine?

snigger · 18/11/2008 16:48

I think he means they've eaten Cod.

NCbirdy · 18/11/2008 23:24

They have eaten Cod? But she was so tough
