questions about smilies

I understand the majority, but I am curious about the origination of the happy orthodox jewish man…where did he come from?
and why is the putz labelled wally???
So many questions!

Welcome. Since you’re a guest and you can’t search, try this for one of the previous threads regarding this question. If you have any questions after that, pony up the money and search yourself. :wink:

kidding…seriously, welcome aboard.

I’d like to join the boards here but it’s gonna take me about a month to get my finances straight to where I’ll have some spending money, as I just went from working two jobs to one and it’s cut a lot out of my pocket, but time with family was just more important…now we’re also saving for a trip to europe next year, because it’s somewhere I want to go again and my gf has never been there…

But thanks for the answer about the putz, so now…how bout ortho-jewish man?

:smack: guess I should have used the thread about pukey to learn about putz, but I’m still curious…where did ;j come from?

IIRC one of our Jewish members (SDimbert?) asked for one . . . and another of our members rose to the challenge and created it.

I’ve always liked it because I thought it was illustrative of how creative and cool our members can be . . . but mostly all I hear is how people dislike it, so there you have it.

I don’t know why people dislike it…I’m not a member, but I think it’s neat!
Thanks everyone!

I doubt that many people actively dislike it… just that it has virtually no use.

People look at it and think “That spot could be filled with a full-color image of a person vomiting. Instead, we have a representation of a member of one of the world’s oldest religions. There ain’t no justice.”

What’s this?
