Emoticon Etiquette

[saxitoxin]

When should I use "Mr. Green" -



- instead of "Very Happy" -




Also, is there a backstory behind Mr. Green? Seems like there may be a fair bit of action and intrigue, no doubt, by jove.

Mr green seems really smiley rather than jolly and laughing like very happy. So consider Mr.very happy as an extremly happy person chuckiling and quivering with joy. and mr.green as someone with a somewhat perturbing smile.

So consider Mr.very happy as an extremly happy person chuckiling and quivering with joy.

Hmmm. This sounds a little R-rated. I think I'll stick with Mr. Green from now on.

But, why is Mr. Green, green? It's obvious why Sick is green -



- because he's sick. But why is Mr. Green -



- green?

skin cancer?

Mods - since AoG is going to make this about Obamacare, please move this thread into the American Politics sub-forum.

I consider Mr. Green to be the "tongue-in-cheek" emoticon but that's just my personal interpretation. Very happy to me is just that.

affirmative action in action?

Funkyterrance - Mr. Green is facetious happy; Very Happy is legit happy
AoG - Mr. Green has skin cancer but is happy; Very Happy is healthy and happy
BvP - Mr. Green is happy; Very Happy is having an orgasm

None of these answers sound believable. For now I'm gonna stick with Razz -



- as a general expression of happiness.

Now, when should I use Evil or Evil Mad -



vs. Mad? What is Evil Mad, by jove?

[Army of GOD]

Maybe he's happy because he's so hopped up on morphine because of his canceR? Have you ever thought of that?

mad is when you are angry. evil mad is when you are extra angry about some sort of injustice.

I don't equate tongue-in-cheek to be facetiousness.
I would say the razz is more facetious if any an emoticon were. Part of the problem is the fact that whomever named the emoticons in the first place was very possibly at least part Vulcan.

[Funkyterrance]

As far as twisted evil ( ) vs. evil/very mad ( ) I prefer to think that twisted implies extreme mischief or possibly sadism while evil mad implies hurt feelings to the point where murder is being considered(a somewhat subdued rage with intent to harm in mind).
Now straight mad ( ) to me suggests simultaneous disgust and anger as though you wish the targeted thing never existed.
I have obviously spent a great deal of time pondering all the emoticons.
Now as far as the exclamation point, question mark and lightbulb emoticons....

Just don't do it like this:

dude, enough with the cancer cracks

Mr. Green is literally green with envy, he smiles for you, but secretly wants you to be as miserable as he is, and is just a good enough actor to hide the fact that he killed Mr.Boddy with a wrench in the kitchen.


"Mad" is the slang definition of "mad", he is angry.
"Mad" is the true definition of "mad", he is insane, speaking in tongues, and possessed by the devil.

For the record, I support Medicinal Marijuana, but I am opposed to Cancer Crack.

Asking AoG not to post in bad taste is like asking a kangaroo not to hop.

And his name is "/".

The easy solution is to stop using smileys entirely. You may thank me later.

Mr. Green shows his teeth and he's clearly Irish.

I generally don't use because that's when I'm thinking of how wonderful it would be to return to either drawing and quartering or flaying someone alive.

As opposed to when I hear that they actually proved that it is permissible in law.
