So the "new" popcorn smiley--
It means:
like sit back and enjoy what's going on
you're enjoying the thread or post
You're hungry

or is there a movie I'm missing?:popcorn:

7. I usually see used to mean, "this thread is going to be entertaining"
usually posted as an early response to a flamebait post. Now that it's more available because people don't have to go search for it on their own, I guess it will take on some other uses.

8. I kind of figured
it was like "Sit back and watch the show"

What did people use before to signal a flamebait thread?

10. I don't think there was anything specific
:shrug:

some people use "outside" smilies, and I've seen one where there is a little guy holding a flamethrower.

11. Two thoughts when I see this one...
Edited on Mon Mar-28-05 10:51 PM by mcscajun
1) West Wing
Josh Lyman: Toby, come quick. Sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl.
Toby Ziegler: Ginger, get the popcorn.

2) Reading any thread about watching the wingnuts rip each other up these past two weeks (whether they're doing it online or off).
:popcorn:
