What’s that little emoticon that looks kind of like an X-ray of someone with very few ribs?
Um… well, Kathy, I’m afraid I need more to go on. I’ve looked through the list of emoticons on both my phone and laptop, and I don’t see any that look like rib-challenged x-rays.
But…um… I use emoticons all the time. Well, I use the SAME emoticon, repeatedly. I think I need some quiet time to process this… 😉
My first drafts were along the lines of “For every emoticon over two” or “the excessive use of emoticons” etc., but it wasn’t working. Then I realized, humor resides in exaggeration and absolutes, so I reworded it to what you see before you.
In other words, Sir Brian, you’re in the clear. Use winky faces to your heart’s content. 😉 😉 😉
Whew! I know it’s an archaic emoticon and it completely destroys my street cred (with the two people who still believe I have such) but it’s just a security-blanket thing when I hit that little guy… 😉
Pride and Prejudice, 2017 update.
Wasn’t sure how many people would catch that, but I know you would!
I agree with you in regards to most people, but sometimes they can be used quite creatively and it’s a lot of fun!
True enough. I actually know someone whose texts look like the one above. Peculiar thing is, she’s about 60 years old and has a master’s degree. But emotionally? *snarkygigglyemoticonhere*
If wordpress had emoticons, I could provide the proper emoticon for you.
Feeding on Folly 
ah, that explains that person at the office…
It explains many on Facebook, too. 😉
🙂
👍🙌👊
That explains so much…:-)
So happy to clear it up for you. 😉
