OK, I’m a newbie so sorry for the dumb question but when is it appropriate to use the happy orthadox jewish man smiley icon? I mean I get all the other ones but is this just for a joke or something? ;j
It’s used for all the circumcision threads.
Welcome
I asked the same question when I first got to the boards.
You can see that thread here:here
By the way, there is a forum called About This Message Board (ATBM), which is the place to pose these kind of questions. A moderator will probably step in soon and move this thread there.

Part of the reason the orthodox Jewish guy is the coolest smiley is the fact that there isn’t often where it can be used, so it’s great when you can.
I’ve seen several posts which I suspect were purpose-built to enable use of the Jewish smiley. ;j
ATMB, not ATBM. We don’t usually discuss Bowel Movements there.
Off to ATMB.

This is definitely NOT a joke. The only people who can use it are those who are orthodox Jews and whose religious beliefs and traditions require the use of such icons when posting questions and answers on a message board. Do you think it’s merely a coincidence that the word, MESSAGE and MESSIAH have exactly the same number of letters? Do you think it’s simply a coincidence that the letters in the name, Cecil Adams, can be rearranged to spell “Jesus was a Jew”? You’re welcomed to this BBS, but don’t ever use that smiley unless your faith commands it. A joke? No, not a joke.
There are only a few posts where the Hasidic Smiley is appropriate.
This is one of them ;j
Sorry about the snafu. :smack:
Also, I’ve been trying to come up with something clever for ATMB, but I’m drawing a blank. :smack:
You forgot to mention the significance of what happens to the Happy Orthodox Jewish Man when you highlight it.
Go on, try it.
Argh, you can’t post images?
Awwww poor Sad Orthodox Jewish Man - that is so cute ;j . Thanks av8rmike for sharing that.
Nope. That option is turned off to safe bandwidth from potential abuses.
I thought he looked more like happy little Shogun Warrior man.
Happy
I think, in the interests of equal time, we should also have:
- a li’l Catholic cardinal, with one of them red hats and an incense burner;
- a li’l pastor with a clerical collar
- a li’l Muslim with turban and scimitar
- a li’l Hare Krishnan, in orange robes and bald
- a li’l Mormon, male, with a flock of li’l Morwimmin (females) taggin’ along behind of him;
- and a li’l Jehovah’s Witness – a smiley face knocking on a door, that appears at random times, unwanted.
And an atheist smilie. Which would be… :), I suppose.
And I reckon this one: 
could be an agnostic. 
Turning Japanese, I think he’s turning Japanese, I really think so!
What would the Scientologist Smiley be? A smiley face with $s for eyes?
