Most Obscure and Ugly Smilies

[DarkCloud]

Commentary

... I was looking at the smiley legend and was baffled to see some new smilies I have never seen used in nearly 9 years spent here on apolyton.

(??? WTF is this, seriously. A sock? A dove?)

(And about 6 similar ones... when were these added and has anyone here used them... ever?)

(Gold? A coin? why not a Euro to balance ?)

:desire: (What exactly is the white thing at the bottom of this smiley? Is it a beard or a table? I've never been quite clear what the Desire smiley is supposed to represent?)

(??? This is also the only smiley that doesn't require a closing ":")

(Is this bread?)

(? Somehow this is trade.)



(Interesting smiley. Never seen it used though.)

Many of those are Civ4 icons that, quite simply, have no conceivable purpose as smilies. A big miss all around.

That desire smilie is supposed to be praying; those are supposed to be hands. Of course, what it really looks like is that dude is fellating an albino ****.

[Guynemer]

****? Really? We're censoring **** now? Okay.

-It was a big controversy back in the day when the current outgoing VP was first elected. (ah, the memories.)

Thanks for the explanation, those certainly don't look like hands, but If I strain, I can see the congruence. I always wondered what was going on with that smiley, and the fact it was called "Desire" certainly made it all the more enigmatic.

[Guynemer]

No, not "dick". "****". Like a rooster.


**** this ****!

[Guynemer]

OH. So dick is not censored, but **** is. Jesus titty-****ing Christ!

[Kidlicious]

dick isn't censor worthy

It can be seen as a praying smilie, but it's actually a begging smilie.

I think I've seen it used once or twice. Or one much like it.

Obviously it's a guy looking up before looking back down and begrudgingly wrapping his lips around the **** in front of him. What else could it be?
