> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SPOOFE \* > **-Smack is ambiguous. What does it mean? It’s too open-ended to be useful.** Therein lies its beauty. You can use it to mean: [ul] [li]“I can’t believe there’s somebody on this board who would argue _that_!”[/li] [li]“I can’t believe I made that completely obvious and brainless error in my own argument! I know better than that, really.”[/li] [li]“I can’t believe I screwed up the coding that badly!”[/ul][/li] See? Smack is, unlike any other smilie in this poll, multi-purpose. ---

Well, at least it wasn’t smashie. Smack! is a pretty good one. –foolsguinea, who never got around to voting ---

The results become official as soon as you see the words “This poll is closed” above the results table. I see those words now. The official result - most people have voted for smack but since I like the swiss smiley best we’re going to add swiss/neutral instead. Thank you for voting and don’t let the door of the polling booth hit you in the ass on the way out. 😛 ---

Well hijack lost. But at least I can take comfort in the fact that Smashie’s name is now definately Smashie, which is just as well because I can’t recall what the other names were that people wanted to give it. ---

Yeah!!! Smack was my favorite of all 50 when the polls opened. I’m glad to see the other dopers agree! :smack: (too bad the new smiley isn’t implemented yet, or you’d see it next to this…maybe after it’s added to the board, it will retroactively become a smack smiley!) ---

Unless, of course, Arnold was serious about not adding the winner. If so, that’s just wrong. ---

Hey, Arnold, I’ll give you ten trillion SPOOFE points if you make Evil the winner! It’s in your power, O He Of The Magical Golden Shirt! Make it happen. For me. The SPOOFER. ---

Jman: Do I have to put (joking) in front of all of my posts? :smack: SPOOFE - I am incorruptible and pure as the snow on top of Mount Everest. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/smiley-voting-round-2/112178.md?page=3)
