I did suggest in the thread linked in the OP a “Shruggie” smiley that **AudreyK** so kindly named. For like when you just don’t know the answer or don’t feel like answering it.

Yes, the puking smilie is disgusting, as are some of the threads on this board. It’s not so much third grade bathroom humor as it is shorthand for something grossing you out. Think of it as being a little more expressive than writing out Eeeeewwww!.

IMO, we need an invisible smiley.

You have to admit, he kinda named himself.

I loved visible pink unicorn, but ‘tired hamster’ seems much more useful.

Or maybe a smiley that can be used in conjuction with other smilies to mean different things. 2 for the price of 1.

A Pirate Smiley.

Also a half eyes opened glare for “You’re a fucking idiot” smiley. The looking up smiley is overused and doesn’t quite conver the proper emotion sometimes.

Or what about a smile that simply says “You’re a fucking idiot” instead of “Puts”? It shouldn’t be smiling either.

Did I mention the Pirate Smiley? Yar!!!

AHA! See, **Audrey** , see? Seee?!?

Actually, **dreamer** , I don’t think we should have a shrugging one - if you don’t know the answer, don’t post. 🙂

How 'bout a "are you f@#king deaf " ? smiley w/an old timey hearing aid or hand to his ear.

Maybe smiley just shaking his head and looking down like he can’t believe the bullshit he just heard.

or my personal favorite…a loaded smiley! Cuervo bottle in one hand maybe a reefer in the other.  
you know, enough already…let’s party and forget this crap for awhile 😉

**Smashed Ice Cream** , we have that one over at SAAN.

I want a middle finger smiley.

Snopes has some kickass ones-the Bonzai Kitten is the best!

Let’s see, how about a troll smiley?
