What's that stupid smiley good for!

[Perry]

OK, I understand the use of just about all the Smileys available when you post in a thread…
All, except for one… the last one… I’m talking about:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

What’s the deal here?  :?
When I hover the mouse pointer over it, it says “afro”.
If I click it , the text    ;mrgreen;    appears in the Message body?

Hey, please help an ignorant Swede here. I just simply do not get the  :mrgreen:

I think of “groovy” or “solid” when it’s used.

Like a little extra cool compared to just the sunglasses.

Yep. I also think “smooth” depending on the context or sometimes “funky.”

I might even go out on a limb and call it psychedelic.

[Perry]

BTW - What does “mrgreen” refer too??
I just don’t get it.

[losttribe04]

Mr. Green was in a rock band if I remember correctly.

[frimmel]

It might be Al Green.

But I’m not sure.

[Perry]

Yeah, would like to hear something about  :-P :-P :-P  also…

It says just “tongue”, when I hover the mousepointer over it.

I it some variant of “confused”  or “uncertain” or “wavering” or something like that?

Please remember that I am a stupid foreigner and I need an explanation a child could understand  :mrgreen:

It’s more a tease thing.  Like sticking your tongue out at someone.  Or kinda a slight disgust, in another sense.

I’ve been using it wrong too then…

I use it more as a 1970’s (like the era that 'Fro is from) “Far Out” with a zinger kinda expression.

Switch that is I think what Jermo and I are saying about the :mrgreen: Just hipper or better than 8)

Usually the tongue is a kinda of razz (what a couple of other boards I use call it) or like Jermo said a tease thing. I don’t use it much cause I always think of it as being a smartass while being too self-aware that you are being a smartass.

If any women visited this site, you might have another purpose with that last smilie.

But of course, there are no women on the internet.  :oops:
