what does this smilie mean? |
|
:donut:
is there some hidden meaning? or is it an offering? or what? I've never seen it used.
is it only used by the mods in their private room?

:rofl:
I've never seen it used outside of an avatar, so I can't think of when it would be used in a post.

It's the symbol of coffee and doughnuts!
No hidden meaning that I'm aware of ...
I've seen it used...
And anyone can do so...mods included!

To the best of my recollection, there aren't any smilies that the mods can't use...
They might stay away from the more provocative ones, though...
Nice to see you tonight, sweetie!

5. is it used mainly in the mornings? |
|
is it a peace offering? is it to get someone to chill?
I think I might start using it. I like coffee and doughnuts.

8. It's not a peace offering, or a way to get someone to chill... |
|
As for mornings....I guess so...
Of course, DU is a global village, so this could show up almost anytime!
I think folks tend to use it when they're talking about coffee or doughnuts... :shrug:

10. thanks, CaliforniaPeggy |
|
it just cracks me up. there are all these wonderful smilies waving and hugging and hiding and eating popcorn, and then there's this picture of a cup of coffee and a doughnut! it always made no sense to me whatsoever.
I guess I'll just learn to embrace it and maybe I'll even use it from time to time. :hi: :donut:

13. I like to use it like this: |
|
Wake up, shower, watch the morning news. :donut:
Go to work, work a little, have some lunch. :donut:
Drive home, watch the evening news, eat dinner, make some phone calls. :donut:
Clean the kitchen, go to bed, read a book. :donut:
Wake up around midnight, stumble blindly through the dark... :donut:
It's an illness, really.

20. Maybe it's "wake up and smell the coffee." |
|
Or perhaps "bad cop, no donut!"
