Do you use emojis in text messages?

Did they used to be called emoticons or is that something I made up?

As a child of the MSN Messenger era, I still doggedly refuse to call emoticons by the newfangled name people have given them.

Thumbs up emoji is a good way of shutting your role in a conversation down, as someone else said. I use the man-doing-a-handstand one as a signifier of excitement and the winking one to emphasise unseriousness where that isn't textually obvious. When I was younger I was militantly anti-emoji but, like, language is always changing, what the hell, why not get involved.

Changing?  More like devolving.  I say we all go back to baby talk.  Goo goo fucking gah gah.

Just noticed if you right-click in chrome it says "Emoji" and you can input them. ugh. I thought it was just a bad spellcheck suggestion

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I bang them in from SwiftKey but only ironically

That's my excuse thus far anywho.

I don't actually know how to make them appear on my phone, more for lack of arsed than being inept with phones. I don't feel like my life is any the poorer for this fact.

My biggest beef with the little yellow cunts is that they can't be disabled. MSN used to turn ":)" into a picture of a face, but you could disable that so it just showed as ASCII. No such luck with the younger upstarts.

When you are typing in Windows 10, try hitting the Windows Key and a full stop at the same time.

I apologise for this. 😏

Thank god for that chrome feature, I've just been applying for civil service jobs within the prison system and needed the smilies to lighten my application up a bit! 😁

Thought there'd be a few grumps about them here 🤣🤣🤣

I don't use SMS, but I use them on Messenger / Hangouts / Telegram.  Fite me.

In the UK no, but in China its very rare to get a string of messages without one, so it has become second nature to use them. I frequently exchange messages with the parents of the children I teach so saying "Kid A (great album) has been pushing and hitting, but great hand writing" can be softened with a 'eyes closed and pleasant smile' face.

Beautiful South?

I did a whole mad art project using em. Quite like them.


Obviously not a text message but i do use them in messages. I actually think they're an interesting phenomena. Pictographic language innit, old as fuck mate. I could bore people with convoluted theories about the semiotic importance of emojis but I have to go to work. Maybe one night when I'm pissed.

dont click unless your monitor's warranty covers punching damage

So kawaii emoji kawaii face.

I haven't punched my monitor as I watched on a phone, but I did just track her down and murder her viciously. Do the Prudential still provide the best cover for that?

Aye, straight white wheelchair guys I bet.

I'm sure they come in a wide range of colours, like all the other emojis.
The all-inclusive way they've been done is really lovely, but they're making a rod for their own back, trying include every possible combinations of race, gender, hair colour etc.

Clap emoji in between words in capitals.  People do it on social media a lot when they're trying to make a point (often political) really loudly as if they're doing a clap between words in person

I've never seen one before, no one has, but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

Yes because they're sometimes very funny and it's nice to have something visual to break up the essays I write via sms. I cannot write a brief text but at least im nt txtn lk I did wn i ws por.
