Valley girl emoticons

[chrisvenus]

In an earlier conversation on IRC I found myself using "\/\/" as an abbreviation for "whatever!". From this stemmed a very important question from mattclem:

How the hell do you emoticonify "Talk to the hand 'cause the face don't wanna know"?

So, any suggestions?

Could be thumb plus fingers?

Surely you don't: you abbreviate, as you do with LOL and OMFG. In this case, I think TTTH should suffice.

[chrisvenus]

Yeah, but that is not nearly as entertaining. :)

How do you say "Talk to the elbow 'cause the hand don't wanna know"

That looks to me like the emoticon for "angry Teletubby".

I guess it could be, it was supposed to be a hand (H) extending from an angry fellow >:(. Perhaps a W instead?

W->:(

Although I think the times when 'angry telletubby' is required in conversation are probably fairly limited...

Ah, I thought the "-" was supposed to be a logical not symbol.

As in:

Don't know - but if it's lj I'd use this icon :)

[chrisvenus]

Gah! You've abused me for a Gratuitous Icon Comment! :)
