I can’t take it anymore! The black helicopters have let loose the platypuses of war!
I am, of course, talking about this little fellow: :o
This is not a representation of embarrassment! This looks more like indifference or casual indignation! Every time I see this used in a post I think, “Why is someone using the fake-tan blow-job smilie?” I proclaim this smilie to be officially named “The Orange faced Blowjob smilie” Embarrassment looks more like :eek: but with a red face. Fuckin Bastards.
It looks like a yawn.
But really I don’t see why this is so upsetting to you.
You need to calm down. Breathe deeply, look in the mirror and say to yourself:
“I willingly forgive, I breathe love into my vision, and I see with compassion and understanding. My clear insight is reflected in my outer sight.”
*Don’t mind me. I am at great peace because I copied that from a daily affirmations calendar that somehow found its way into my cubicle. They get much worse, honest.
Looks more like a yawn to me. It should be called the “sleepy smilie”.
High-five, Turpentine!
Huh. I always thought it perfectly represented the look on a person’s face when they gasp in horror, realizing how badly they just stuck their foot in their mouth.
I guess I was wrong. Boy, is my face red.
Maybe if the eyes were open it would look more like embarrassment. With the eyes closed, it always looks like a yawn to me, too.
My right eye just wont stop twitching.
I started to read some of the daily affimations Turpentine mentioned and I’ve found some that seem to be helping.
I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.
Is that supposed to be embarassment? I always thought it was the “I’m Faking an Orgasm” smiley. Which is why I never use it. All my orgasms at the SDMB are 100% genuine.
It always looked like a yawn to me, but now that you mention it, it does make me think an awful lot of someone preparing to give a blow-job.
I always thought it looked like a high soprano singing in choir. All it needs is the little book in front of it.
But what do I know? I used to sing alto.
(I say “used to” because the Marlboros have made me a mid-baritone since age fifteen.)

buster the janitor: hey, mr dick! you know the plastic lady you got in your closet, the one who looks like shes singin REAL LOUD??

I always thought it was someone hawking a loogie. Go figure.
To me it looks like it should be for “tired” or something.
