I often stop to think that the full range of my emotional expressiveness is not reflected by the smileys we have here, or even the ones on Yahoo. Who picks these smileys anyhow. Why do we have heart AND rose, yet no smug smirk?

I think there should be a smiley of a little face doing that "Baboo from the Simpsons, you very bad man, very rude man" admonishing stiff side-to-side finger wave.

Or a smiley of someone holding hand over eyes, lowered head, and shaking head at same time, as if to say "oh for fucks sake, I can't even look".


What smileys do you think we should have?
 
"for fuck's sake you cunt" ones


yep


and "ego centric bastard" ones.



as i seem to be able to cause offence to people today i would like to clarify that neither of the above are aimed at you. yet."
 
I often have my fingers press to my forehead and temple resting on my thumb and one eyebrow raised when I'm reading various threads.

not sure what that emotion would be.

I really want a middle finger smiley. It's very much needed around these parts.
That's the one I want the most too.

You have to describe what they look like; being as smileys are pictorial representations of "feelings". FOr example, egocentric bastard could be a little smiley flipping up his Lacoste shirt collar, winking, and cocking an imaginary gun.
 
Sarcasm. We definitely need a REAL sarcasm emoticon.

I'm pretty sure I'd wear it out.

I'm picturing it now. That's good.
 
Another good one: that disgusted "oh for chrissakes, shut the fuck up" grimace combined with an abrupt dismissive backhand hand wave.

Maybe I should amend that to...we REALLY need a 'don't be such a smartass' emoticon.

The range of yah-ha-hooey IM emoticons would be a good place to start.
I agree. Smileys must cost a lot of software man hours to develop or something. I can't think of any other reason for being so stingey with them.
 
High Time They Step It Up A Notch

I suggest Celebrity photo emoticons and not all these little yellow, blue, green and red faces. The cats and bunny rabbits, puhleeeze!

Think about:

Brad Pitt's angry Fight Club pose - Come on, motherfucker!

The constipated Kirstie Alley look - This thread makes me feel fat - I should leave.

GWB Jr. picking his nose - You're all so silly, I flick booogers at you all!

JLo's large, plump ass - I squash this thread with my thunderbutt! Die Die Die!

Dustin Hoffman's profile shot - I'm too old to care about this topic.

Yoda - Be with you, may the force.

Paris Hilton (naked) - This thread sucks so bad I'm just gonna lie down again.

Pauly Shore - Maybe I can resurrect it - just like my career!!



You follow me???
 
I would love to see smileys made for all those star emotions. I would get really sick of seeing the faces of stars, even in cartoon form, but they can do amazing things with smileys nowadays. They could definitely abstract any of these into eternal circular yellow form.
