What does the rolling eyes smiley mean to you?

[_me_]

I wondered if it was interpreted differently by different people.

I take it to mean this.....An expression of dismay or exasperation.

I've seen it used in threads here & I'm not sure what people mean by it.

So what is you interpretation?

I like that one. It has attitude.
I've always thought the rolling eyes meant exasperation. But if it were directed toward me personally I might see it as more of an insult. I hope I never find out!

I've had a few moments when a post made me take a second look and wonder if it was directed toward me. But I figure if it happens once then it was just someone having a bad day. If it becomes a pattern, then maybe they are just really fucking rude and deserve to be ignored!

I use it as a self-deprecating smile. For instance if I am sharing and inside joke at my own foibles.
For instance when I broke yet another vibratorI used the role eyes emoticon to express my head shaking at myself.

I agree with Switch on this. I rarely use it, but to me it's not a derogatory emoticon at all, more self depricating

 

[rawrrx]

Haha, I'm guessing you wrote that after my post.

I overuse this..

It usually means, for me, like I'm being cheeky.. or I'm laughing at my own joke. Or I'm just being silly in some way.

Yes, I understand that

Yes

For me, it's the closest I can get to a smiley that represents my general way of speaking. I'm generally cheeky, I'm always obnoxious, and almost always flirtatious. This smiley signifies all these things for me!

Of course I should point out I'm not blue. No offence to any smurfs or smurfettes out there.

Exactly!

And what if I am blue?

I've seen it a few times, used by others, not just you

Wasn't sure if it was used by people across the pond to mean something different

Then a) you excel with photoshop, and or b) you looking fucking fantastic blue or otherwise.

Just getting straight to the point there, I hope you don't mind.

Better blue than a man, I guess.


(Oh, see I just used it again lol)

Damn men, those poor bastards..

You can't help yourself, you "" fiend!

That was in the right context though, in my opinion

 

[ShaiGirl]

For me, it means many things: self-deprecation, exasperation, sarcasm, etc. When I'm being cheeky or naughty, I use the *wink* emoticon .

For example, when I browse threads which are *fairly* popular, and then the thread-owner/girl/woman hasn't appeared in several days and people are bugging her for pics, I roll my eyes literally, while I'm reading the posts. I mean, hey, ampic girls have a life outside of Lit, y'know?! They have jobs, studies, families, etc.

Sometimes Lit is just a passing fancy, sometimes it becomes an addiction.

 

[muffalo]

This is more like my face when I'm sitting at a stage at the strip club
(Of course, I'm not blue ...<--oh and that's me during a lap dance )

 

[lonelyjulia]

I've always thought it implied sarcasm.

 

[shellbellfell]

In my case...

it means I am torn between a polite rebuff, ignoring them, or tearing their heads off..I am rolling my eyes upwards into my brain looking for a solution to the unsolvable.

 

[Legion_7]

I usually use it to signify not to take me seriously. Either I'm being sarcastic (likely) or I'm being an idiot on purpose.

Occasionally I'll use it to signify that I think that someone else is being a moron, in which case it'd represent exasperation/choking down the fact that I'm laughing at you.

 

[okayterrific]

i've always interpreted it as sarcasm or general smart-assery

 

[ratherabsurd1]

To me it seems like it is saying

Oh brother , you silly goose you...
