Mine is ;). That little bastard seems so condescending to me!
I voted embarassment, because he doesn’t look at all like the emotion he’s supposed to represent.
I mean, check him out: :o
He looks more like he’s practicing for jack-o-lanternship, and hasn’t gotten it quite right yet.
I wanna punch this smug bastard:
I always assumed he signified boredom, or even sleep. Gets my vote in any event.
None!
I like smilies!
:p:p:p
Same here. I don’t know what emotion :o is conveys to me, but it sure isn’t embarrassment.
Little mister :o just looks sleepy to me.
That’s sleepy smiley, right there!
I still want a barfy smiley.
I’s gotta be :rolleyes:. Ultra-dismissive and obnoxious.
Examples:
I’d be happy to see :rolleyes: get trampled by elephants!
I think they are all crap. They contribute to communication in much the same way that condoms contribute to reproduction.
Nah, that’s the blowjob smiley. That’s a face that belongs on an inflatable love doll.
is my least favorite. Just looks weird.
Well, that’s a very grumpy sentiment indeed.
I don’t like :D. Looks buck-toothed to me. I hate the teeth. There aren’t teeth in the letter D. When the board was first on the web, it was yellow, with an open mouth that looked similar to the text it replaced.
This guy::o
It looks like he’s either singingor sanctimoniously pontificating.
Then again, I guess doing either of those things *would *be embarrassing for some people. Not me, but still.
me too, and then I want to stomp on his stupid sunglasses.
and :mad: are too much alike. :o is just an embarrassment. :dubious: seems to be questioning why I’m even here. Otherwise, I love the smilies :p:D:)!
My rule is that if your post is even a little bit confrontational (i.e. most GD and pit threads), using any smiley at all makes you look like an asshole and brings down the level of discourse. No exceptions.
Too true. I thought it would get more votes. EVERYTHING it touches turns to shit. Even if I think the poster said something cool or interesting or relatively innocuous, if they put the rolleyes there it makes me want to punch them so hard. It pushes it all over the edge.
Another vote for :o.
“Open your mouth and close your eyes, and you’ll get a big surprise!” sticks frog in smilies’ mouth
Another vote for this guy: :o
I don’t want to murder any posters I see using it, but I just haven’t found a single instance where I found it appropriate to use it.
Including the one you just did?
That doesn’t count!
