Okay, so if we could have another new emoticon, what should it be?

I know it's greedy, as the christmas biscuit is so lovely and all .

But I was wondering if we could have just one extra emoticon, say as a special Christmas gift from MNHQ Tech, what it should be.

My shortlist is:

popcorn, for pass the popcorn, a fight's kicking off

cake, for wishful thinking (and because you know it would get used loads)

catsbum mouth, for I disapprove of this/the world in general

a cute little troll person, probably self explanatory, but not sure we should encourage the troll-hunters

What would yours be?

I would like a scared one. Or a worried one.

I also think we should start the campain for burns night emoticons early this year seeing as tech couldn't be bothered do them last year after we'd asked really nicely.

I quite like your idea of a carsbum mouth one though.

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 17/12/2009 16:21

caTsbum

Cars don't have bums.

As far as I know.

How about "I'm genuinely trying to help, not being sarky/dim" one.
Though I don't know how you could convey that sentiment on a little face.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 18/12/2009 11:54

a shrug

Tortington · 18/12/2009 11:55

i have been fighting for a 'chin rubbing' / thinking emoticon - becuase the emoticon is used in disbelief or sarcasm.

and a true 'thinker' emoticon would be v. useful

I think the catsbum mouth would get the most useage! And I'm loving the idea of a catsbum-mouth-with-santa-hat emoticon!!!

Pineapplechunks · 18/12/2009 12:06

I think a glass of wine/gin would be useful. Could be offered as support in almost all situations.

Miggsie · 18/12/2009 12:07

"I may be coming across as critical or pompous but I'm actually really trying to help?"

God, I need that one...!

MummyClausGoneCrazy · 18/12/2009 12:09

Im going to vomit one

Slightly green with crossed eyes and big puffed u cheeks

mmelindt · 18/12/2009 12:09

A bar of chocolate would be good, I would use that a lot.

sweetkitty · 18/12/2009 12:10

a about to be sick vomit emoticon

MummyClausGoneCrazy · 18/12/2009 12:11

puffed up

scrappydappydoo · 18/12/2009 12:13

I like all these..
The popcorn one, the vomit one and the wine one get my top votes...

mulledfruitshootandcheese · 18/12/2009 13:59

I think we should have this one whilst we think about it

TubbyDuffs · 18/12/2009 14:01

I personally like facepalm for when someone says something soooooo stooooopid.

IsItMeOrSanta · 18/12/2009 14:01

Ooh, TeamEdward I like your suggestion for what the popcorn one could look like. But how would the tin hat work at christmas?

steamedxmaspudding · 18/12/2009 14:09

I like the wine and catsbum ideas!

FabIsGettingReadyForXmas · 18/12/2009 14:13

I know this is boring but a hug one.

ChickensHaveNoTinsel · 18/12/2009 14:14

I think we need a 'warning: poster in a fighting mood' type affair. Would come in very handy, especially on AIBU.

Iklboodolphtherednosereindeer · 18/12/2009 14:16

My first thought was catsbum
Hardhat (as im - It's going to kick off, I'll put me hardhat on}

mulledfruitshootandcheese · 18/12/2009 15:29

hard hat and cats bum

I really should be doing my essay!
